- 1 pound of kielbasa sausage, sliced into pieces that are 1/2 inch thick.
- 2 apples, remove the core and cut into small pieces.
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of apple cider or apple juice
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon of powdered garlic
- Add salt and pepper as desired.
- Fresh parsley to decorate (if desired)
Directions:
Start by collecting all the ingredients and getting your slow cooker ready by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or using a liner for easy cleaning.
Put the cut sausage into the slow cooker, spreading them out evenly on the bottom.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the diced apples, brown sugar, apple juice, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Stir thoroughly to make sure all ingredients are mixed together completely.
4. Pour the apple and spice mix over the sausage in the slow cooker, making sure all the sausage pieces are covered.
5. Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 1-2 hours until the sausage is heated and the flavors mix well.
6. After the cooking time is finished, gently mix the kielbasa bites with the sauce.
If you want, you can sprinkle some chopped parsley on top before serving to give it a pop of color and fresh taste.
Enjoy your Slow Cooker Apple Kielbasa Bites hot by placing them on a serving tray with toothpicks or serving them over your favorite side dish.
Make sure to keep them warm if you are serving them at a party, as they taste best when the kielbasa is juicy and the apple pieces are soft.
