Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 small sweet Italian sausage links about 1 1/2-pounds total
- 2 Pink Lady apples halved
- 1/2 red onion sliced
- 1/2 head red cabbage cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- kosher salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup fresh apple cider
- 2 tablespoons fresh cider vinegar
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, turning occasionally until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add in the apples, cut-side down.
- Scatter the onions and the cabbage around the apples. Season with the salt and the pepper.
- Cook, stirring the onions occasionally, until the apples are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Flip the apples. Return the sausage to the skillet, nestling among the onions and cabbage. Add the cider and the vinegar.
- Simmer, rotating and turning the sausages occasionally until the sausages are cooked through and tender, about 18-20 minutes.
- Serve.
