SMOKED SAUSAGE, APPLES AND SAUERKRAUT
This dish has German roots, but is widely prepared in Switzerland. I'm not sure exactly where I found this recipe,but it's been DH and grandson's favorite deer hunting camp meal for many years. It cooks in one skillet so clean up is minimal.

SMOKED SAUSAGE AND APPLES
This is a real easy way to fix smoked sausage. I do it in the microwave and usually serve it with a green veggie and corn bread.

Steps:
- Slice smoked sausage into 1 inch coins, and place in a microwavable bowl with a lid.
- Add apples and onions.
- Sprinkle brown sugar over all. Add water. Cover.
- Microwave on high for about 5 mins or till apples are tender. (I use my fresh vegetable button for hard veggies).
- May season with salt and pepper if care to. We normally don't.
- Note: If you do not have a bowl with lid that will go into microwave, you may use plastic wrap, just be sure to vent it, by folding in one corner of wrap to make a little hole.
LENTIL SOUP WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE AND APPLES
Flavored with apple, sausage and mustard, this slightly creamy lentil soup strikes a nice balance between delicate and hearty. Small green lentils, or French lentils or lentils du Puy, are khaki-colored legumes that have a peppery flavor and keep their shape when cooked instead, which gives this soup an appealing texture. You can also use black lentils or easier-to-find brown lentils, but keep in mind that brown lentils will fall apart as they cook, creating a thicker stew. This soup takes only a few minutes to throw together, and most of the time is spent in hands-off simmering time, putting it within reach for a weeknight. It's never necessary to soak lentils, as they cook relatively quickly. (You can find a slow cooker version of this recipe here.)

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the half the chopped apples, and cook, stirring until softened, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid scorching, about 5 minutes.
- Add the celery, garlic, sage and thyme, and stir to combine. Pour in the cider and let it come to a bubble. Add the sausage, lentils, nutmeg and 4 cups water to the pot. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper. Let the soup come to a boil, then decrease the heat to maintain a low simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the lentils are tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Just before you are ready to eat, add the vinegar. Stir together the sour cream and mustard, then stir the mixture into the soup. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve in bowls topped with the scallions and remaining chopped apples.
Tips:
- Choose the right sausage: Look for a smoked sausage that is fully cooked and has a good flavor. Avoid sausages that are too spicy or have a lot of fat.
- Use a variety of apples: Different types of apples will give your dish different flavors and textures. For a sweet and tart flavor, try using Granny Smith apples. For a sweeter flavor, try using Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples. For a more complex flavor, try using a mix of different types of apples.
- Cook the apples until they are tender: You want the apples to be soft enough to eat, but not so soft that they are mushy. Cook them over medium heat until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Add some spices: Spices can help to enhance the flavor of the sausage and apples. Try adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to your dish.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Smoked sausage and apples can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Smoked sausage and apples is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
