Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the kielbasa into 1/2-inch-thick coins.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear kielbasa 2 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add sliced onion to the same skillet. Cook, stirring often, until soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in apple slices, caraway seeds, vinegar, and mustard. Cook 3 minutes until apples are just tender but not mushy.

  5. Step 5

    Return kielbasa to the skillet and toss gently with the apples and onions for 1 minute to warm through.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot, spooning the apple-onion mixture over and around the sausage.
