Slow Cooker Apple Kielbasa Bites
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Kielbasa sausage, sliced | 1 lb |
| Apples, peeled, cored, chopped | 2 large |
| Brown sugar | 1/2 cup |
| Dijon mustard | 2 tablespoons |
| Apple cider vinegar | 1 tablespoon |
| Ground cinnamon | 1 teaspoon |
| Ground nutmeg | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Onion, finely chopped | 1/2 cup |
Instructions:
Slice the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces, peel and chop the apples, and finely chop the onion. Place the kielbasa, apples, and onion into the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until well blended. Pour this sauce over the kielbasa and apple mixture in the slow cooker, stirring to coat everything evenly.
Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours or on high for 1.5–2 hours, until the apples are tender and the kielbasa is heated through. Gently stir before serving.
These flavorful bites can be served straight from the slow cooker with toothpicks for easy snacking, or as part of a meal. The sweet and savory combination makes them impossible to resist.
