Step 1
Slice the kielbasa into 1/2-inch-thick coins.
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.
Step 3
Add sliced onion to the same skillet. Cook, stirring often, until soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in apple slices, caraway seeds, vinegar, and mustard. Cook 3 minutes until apples are just tender but not mushy.
Step 5
Return kielbasa to the skillet and toss gently with the apples and onions for 1 minute to warm through.
Step 6
Serve hot, spooning the apple-onion mixture over and around the sausage.
