Peel and thinly slice the onions. Core the apples and cut them into thin wedges. Set both aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the bratwurst sausages to the skillet and brown them on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and apples. Cook over medium heat until softened and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the caraway seeds and marjoram leaves over the onion and apple mixture, stirring to combine.
Return the browned bratwursts to the skillet, nestling them into the onion-apple mixture.
Pour the dark beer into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cover the skillet and let the bratwursts cook through, about 15 minutes.
Remove the skillet lid and stir in the whole-grain mustard. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve the bratwursts hot with the onion-apple mixture spooned over the top, alongside crusty bread or pretzel rolls.
