Apple Brown Sugar Brats and Sauerkraut {Recipe}

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy here.

When we were asked to make a meal for our local homeless shelter, the request was for bratwurst and sauerkraut. We’ve never made anything with bratwurst…or sauerkraut for that matter…so I started digging around until we found a recipe that sounded a bit more appealing and appetizing.

The result was a recipe that we’ve now added to our recipe books and one that has given me a reason to actually buy bratwurst and sauerkraut and enjoy it! I will admit that the sauerkraut can have a strong smell while cooking, so if you have the option of putting your crock pot out on your porch ~ do it! :)

Ingredients:

• 8 uncooked bratwurst links
• 2 cans (14 ounces) sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
• 4 medium apples, peeled and finely chopped
• 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
• 1/2cup packed brown sugar
• 1/3cup finely chopped onion
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
  

Directions:

• Place the bratwurst in a 5-qt. slow cooker. In a large bowl, combine the sauerkraut, apples, bacon, brown sugar, onion and mustard; spoon over bratwurst.
• Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until sausage is no longer pink.

Yield: 8 servings.
