This sausage dish with sauteed apples makes a surprisingly light meal that will satisfy cool-weather cravings for Germanic-style food.
The chicken apple sausage has less fat than pork varieties, and sage-flavored sauteed apples and sauerkraut make great accompaniments. If you just have to have potatoes with your sausage, try boiled baby Yukon golds with a little butter and parsley.
