Preparing a meal that fills the house with wonderful scents and invites everyone to gather around the table is a very comforting experience. Such a meal would be my apple kielbasa bites cooked in a slow cooker. This dish is perfect for gatherings with loved ones, sharing at a potluck, or enjoying on a cold night because of the warm and soothing flavors of smokey sausage and sweet apples. These bites are the ideal addition to anyone’s dinner lineup since they are easy to make and have an irresistible flavor.
Although delicious on their own, these apple kielbasa bits really come into their own when served with the correct accompaniments. Pair them with a tangy potato salad or some warm, crusty bread to soak up the sauce. They also go well with steaming green beans or a refreshing green salad for a healthy alternative. As an appetizer, why not serve these nibbles on toothpicks for a more relaxed gathering?
Apple Kielbasa Bites Made in a Slow Cooker Servings: 6
What You Need:
Half an inch slices of kielbasa sausage, 1 pound
Chop, peel, and core two big apples.
a half cup of brown sugar
Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons
30 milliliters of apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
25% of a teaspoon of nutmeg, ground
finely chopped 1/2 cup of onion
What to do
First, in a slow cooker, add the kielbasa slices.
2. Combine the apple chunks, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, cider vinegar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a basin.
3. Once the kielbasa is in the slow cooker, pour the apple sauce over it.
4. Top the apple and kielbasa mixture with the chopped onion.
Put the lid on and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring regularly, for four to six hours, or until apples are soft and kielbasa is coated.
6. If wanted, serve warm with a sprinkling of fresh parsley as a garnish.
Tips and Variations
These bites may be made even spicier by adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or smoky paprika to the mix. If you’re feeding fussy eaters, you may want to tone down the vinegar and mustard a little. In the last hour of simmering, add a handful of dried cranberries or raisins for an even fruitier touch.
