Ingredients

  • olive oil

  • 4 to 6 large sausages, such as savoury farmer's, turkey or Italian sausages

  • 3 small onions

  • 3 small firm apples, such as McIntosh or Royal Gala

  • 1/2 cup apple juice

  • 1/4 cup apple jelly or hot pepper jelly

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp dried basil leaves

  • Generous pinch freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Lightly coat a large, wide frying pan with oil and set over medium-high heat. Prick sausages in several places, then add. Cook until well browned all over, turning often, 5 to 7 minutes. Add more oil, if needed. Meanwhile, cut onions into wedges. Cut unpeeled apples into thick wedges, discarding cores. Then remove sausages to a plate.

  • Reduce heat to medium. Add onions to pan. Stir often until they start to brown, about 2 minutes. Add more oil, if needed. Then add apple wedges. Stir often until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk juice with jelly and Dijon. Jelly will be clumpy. Pour into pan. Sprinkle with basil and pepper. Using a wooden spoon, stir until jelly melts. Return sausages to pan.

  • Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and stir occasionally until sausages are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Then if apples are not as tender as you like or sauce is not thick enough, continue simmering, uncovered, stirring occasionally a few more minutes. Taste and add more basil or pepper, if needed. Terrific over wide egg noodles.
