How to make it

4 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Heat the vegetable oil

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bratwursts and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausages and set aside.

    7 min

  2. Add the sliced onion

    In the same skillet, add the sliced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the grated apple and cook for another minute.

  3. Add the sauerkraut and chicken broth

    Add the sauerkraut and chicken broth to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well to combine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  4. Place the browned bratwursts back

    Place the browned bratwursts back into the skillet on top of the sauerkraut. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sausages are cooked through and flavors have melded.

A little kitchen wisdom

For the best flavor, use a dry Riesling instead of broth if you prefer a traditional wine-infused sauerkraut. Serve with a dollop of spicy brown mustard.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

The sauerkraut flavor improves after a day. Cook the sauerkraut base ahead of time and reheat with sausages.

Store & enjoy

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth to keep the sauerkraut moist.
