Recipe: Easy Slow Cooker Apple Sausage Bites
Ingredients:
– 1 pound of kielbasa sausage, sliced into pieces that are 1/2 inch thick.
– 2 apples, remove the core and cut into small pieces.
– 1/2 cup of brown sugar
– 1/2 cup of apple cider or apple juice
– 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon of powdered garlic
– Add salt and pepper as desired.
– Fresh parsley to decorate (if desired)
Directions:
Start by collecting all the items you need and getting your slow cooker ready by spraying it with cooking spray or using a liner for easy cleaning.
Put the cut kielbasa into the slow cooker, spreading them out evenly on the bottom.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the chopped apples, brown sugar, apple juice, mustard, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Stir thoroughly to make sure all ingredients are completely mixed.
4. Pour the apple and spice mix over the kielbasa in the slow cooker, making sure all the sausage pieces are covered.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 1-2 hours until the sausage is heated and the flavors mix well.
6. When the cooking time is finished, gently mix the kielbasa bites with the sauce.
If you want, you can decorate with some chopped parsley to give it a pop of color and fresh taste right before serving.
Enjoy your Slow Cooker Apple Kielbasa Bites hot by placing them on a serving tray with toothpicks or serving them over your favorite side dish.
Make sure to keep them warm if you are serving them at a party, as they taste best when the sausage is juicy and the pieces of apple are soft.
