Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pounds bratwursts (about 10 links)
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- One 12-ounce package fresh coleslaw mix
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 apple, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and heat until shimmering.
- Carefully place the brats in the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Add apple juice and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and cook until the sausages are cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Remove the sausages and set aside, leaving any cooking liquids in the skillet.
- Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and browned slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the coleslaw mix, apple cider vinegar, caraway seeds and red pepper flakes, then season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the coleslaw is wilted, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the sliced apples and let cook until warmed through, another 2 minutes.
- Return the cooked sausages to the skillet and serve.

Reviews
We loved this recipe. Since it’s Autumn, we used apple cider, also boosted the nutrition with a grated carrot and garnished with chopped parsley. My Czechoslovakian/German Mom would’ve gobbled this up as we did. Thank you.
This is great served with warm German potato salad and green beans. Delish
I used this recipe as a guide, but: swapped rice wine vinegar for the apple juice, along with carrot shreds and red pepper slices instead of apple. Red pepper flakes added a couple minutes before serving. Glad I did as it I think it would have been very bland with apple juice and apple slices. Turned out yummy, the Mr. ate every bite on his plate.
I tried this recipe as per the directions and honestly it was really bland and lacked any flavour. I enjoyed the brats, but tht was about it.
That was pretty good! Didn’t have apple juice, and my apple cider vinegar had gone really bad, so I used orange juice and about 1/3 bottle of Negra Modelo to cook the brats. After adding cabbage, I had to use white vinegar and decided to add another 1/3 of the beer to have enough liquid to thoroughly coat the cabbage. Added a little bit of onion powder because my yellow onion wasn’t carrying through. We were wondering about the apple slices but they were good and added a little bit of crunch. Would do this one again!
Can’t say I followed the directions exactly but it sure was good , Garlic mashed pots on the side.
Love it, is’t a keeper !!
This really wasn’t very good. I followed the recipe exactly, but it was really bland. The sausage tasted good braised in the apple juice, but the rest was just flavorless. DH said “it doesn’t taste like anything. You should doctor it up.” So I added whole-grain mustard, some browned potato cubes, more vinegar, a little bit of sugar, and an unhealthy amount of salt. This resulted in something edible that I still didn’t care for, but DH really liked it. I wouldn’t make this dish again.
I didn’t care for. The coleslaw mix even after being cooked down was too crunchy and should of left out apples. Will try a different recipe for brats on Food Network.
Quick and delicious husband said it’s a keeper
