Notes
*I used Granny Smith apples because I enjoy the tartness and price. Feel free to use any apples that you have on hand or prefer. Just make sure to add them later in the cooking process so they don't get too mushy.
**Go for fresh bratwurst sausages in this recipe. Either classic, beer, or flavored brats (e.g. cheddar) will work! Smoked brats could work in a pinch, but the cook time for the sausages will be much shorter as they're already pre-cooked. I only use fresh bratwurst in this recipe and that is what the cook time is based on.
**You can also substitute or add whole ground mustard, spicy mustard, or plain mustard to the sauce.
