Quick Dinner
1 lb smoked sausage or smoked Keilbasa—or brats—or sliced sausage in less amount—bias cut
2 sweet potatoes sliced ½ “ thick
2 apples cut in wedges
¼ cup orange juice
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsbp cinnamon
The recipe reads:
Quick sauté the sausage
And add the rest….simmer for 30 minutes
Serve with really good rye or pumpernickel bread
However,
I put all ingredients in an iron skillet, cover and bake in oven until potatoes are done. Sometimes, I add more orange juice or liquid and add dumplings. Really good in the winter….and hardy!
Or….
Put all ingredients in a crock pot (my preferred way) and go about your business….
I don’t know where this recipe came from or I would give the credit. This recipe can doubled or tripled depending on how many are to be fed.

We do this all the time but with regular potatoes & onions alongside the keilbasa. It’s a family favorite-quick & simple!
Oh this is a really good idea! I’m always a little bored by just plain sausages and this is a nice way to dress them up.
I like to make this but I add chunks of Vidalia onions. The apple and onion combination is delicious.
