Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 links pork sausages
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large yellow onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 large apple
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausages and sear them for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the onions, and mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the sliced onions. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Core and slice the apple into thin wedges.
In a large baking dish, arrange the caramelized onions in an even layer. Place the browned sausages on top, followed by the apple slices.
Pour the apple cider and chicken stock over the sausages and apples. Scatter the fresh thyme sprigs on top, and season with salt and black pepper.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to slightly thicken the sauce and allow the sausages to develop a deeper color.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Discard the thyme sprigs, and serve the sausages with the onions, apples, and sauce spooned over the top.
