Fall is the season for hearty and flavorful dishes, and this fall bratwurst with apples and onions is the perfect meal to warm you up on a cool autumn day. Bratwurst, a type of German sausage, is cooked until browned and then simmered in a mixture of apple cider, chicken broth, brown sugar, and spices, creating a savory and slightly sweet sauce. Sliced apples and onions are added to the pot, infusing the sauce with their natural sweetness and crunch. Serve the bratwurst and apple mixture over mashed potatoes, spaetzle, or your favorite fall side dish for a complete and comforting meal. For a vegetarian alternative, try the lentil and vegetable stew, a hearty and protein-packed dish made with lentils, vegetables, and a flavorful tomato-based sauce. If you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, the one-pot chicken and rice is a great option. Simply brown chicken breasts in a pot, add rice, broth, vegetables, and seasonings, and let it simmer until the rice is cooked through. Serve with a side of steamed broccoli or roasted vegetables for a healthy and satisfying meal.

SAUSAGES WITH APPLES AND ONIONS
There are lots of kinds of wurst, or sausage: bratwurst, bockwurst, knackwurst, weisswurst (similar to the French boudin blanc). Bratwurst is popular the United States, and there are some new high-quality packaged supermarket brands now available, or look for other types from a butcher shop. But let's face it: Nearly any kind of sausage will taste great paired with caramelized onions and apples fried in butter.

Steps:
- Put 2 tablespoons butter in a large cast-iron skillet or wide, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, season generously with salt and pepper and stir to coat with butter. Add bay leaf, cloves, allspice, caraway and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft and nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat as necessary to keep onions from browning too quickly.
- Remove onions from pan and arrange on a platter. Put 2 more tablespoons butter in pan, and add apples. Raise heat to medium-high and brown apples on both sides, using a spatula to turn them, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove apples and arrange them on top of onions. Keep platter warm in a low oven.
- Keep stovetop heat at medium and place sausages in pan in one layer. Prick each sausage in several places with the tip of a sharp paring knife or toothpick.
- Let sausages brown slowly on one side (check their progress by turning them over with a fork or tongs) for 6 to 8 minutes. Lower the temperature if they're browning too quickly.
- Turn sausages over, and add 1/2 cup water to the pan. Let water evaporate completely, then continue to let sausages brown slowly for about 5 more minutes. (Cooking sausages at too high a temperature will cause them to burst; err on the cooler side.)
- To serve, place cooked sausages in the center of the onion-apple mixture on platter. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

FALL BRATWURST WITH APPLES AND ONIONS
Even though the recipe says you can use non alcoholic beer I think that real beer has a better flavor. Remember when you cook that the heat dissipates the alcohol.

SHEET-PAN SAUSAGES WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS AND APPLES
In this rustic sheet-pan dinner, apples and shallots roast slowly alongside pork sausage, becoming fragrant and caramelized in the process. A quick toss with whole-grain mustard and apple cider vinegar adds a savory edge, making the apple and shallot mixture almost reminiscent of chutney. This recipe works equally well with both sweet and hot pork sausage, as well as any crisp apples, though a mix of red and green apples looks particularly nice. Serve with French green lentils and a green salad, with plenty of Dijon mustard on the side.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the shallots lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Core the apples and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Place the shallots and apples on a sheet pan, drizzle with the 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes, until the shallots are just starting to brown at the edges.
- Meanwhile, place the sausages on a plate. Using a fork, prick a few holes in each sausage. Drizzle the sausages with olive oil and toss to coat.
- Add the rosemary and mustard to the pan with the apples and shallots, and toss, spreading everything out into one even layer. Arrange the sausages on the pan, evenly distributed, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the sausages and tossing the apples and shallots with the juices released from the sausages halfway through, until the sausages are browned and cooked to 160 degrees and the shallots are tender and caramelized.
- Transfer the sausages to a serving platter and discard the rosemary sprigs. Pour the vinegar over the apples and shallots, and toss well, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Transfer to the serving platter with the sausages, sprinkle with parsley, if using, and serve immediately.
