Step 1
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Score the blutwurst skin lightly (2–3 shallow cuts). Place in skillet and sear 4–5 minutes per side until edges crisp and skin splits slightly. Remove to a plate.
Step 3
Add onions and apples to the same skillet. Cook 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and edges turn golden brown.
Step 4
Return blutwurst to the skillet. If using beer, pour it in and simmer 1 minute until liquid mostly reduces.
Step 5
Slide sausage and apple-onion mixture onto a plate. Dot with whole grain mustard and scatter herbs if desired.
