Apple Kielbasa Bites Made in a Slow Cooker
The following items are needed: – 1/2-inch slices of kielbasa sausage, one pound of which
1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup apple cider (or juice), 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 cored and small-chopped apples
Add salt and pepper according to your taste. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley.
Instructions:
1. Start by collecting all of your ingredients and getting your slow cooker ready. A quick spritz of cooking spray or a liner will make cleaning a breeze.
2. Evenly distribute the sliced kielbasa down the bottom of the slow cooker and place it in there.
3. Mix the chopped apples with the brown sugar, apple cider, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and apple cider vinegar in a medium-sized bowl. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Make sure all the ingredients are incorporated by mixing them well.
4. Coat the sausage pieces well with the apple and spice mixture, then pour it over the kielbasa in the slow cooker.
5. Place the cover on top of the slow cooker and cook on low for three to four hours or high for one to two hours. Cook until the kielbasa is cooked through and the flavors have combined.
6. Gently mix the kielbasa bits to cover them with sauce again once cooking time is finished.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if preferred, for a visual and flavorful accent just before serving.
8. Serve the Slow Cooker Apple Kielbasa Bites hot, distributing them on a platter with toothpicks or topping them with whatever you choose.
Keep them warm if you’re serving them at a party; the kielbasa is at its most delicious when it’s soft and the apple chunks are juiciest.
