Cheddar Wursts with Cider Sauce

This is a great meal for a cold fall or winter's day!  I feel like I am back in Germany, eating at fine restaurant  (My husband and I went to Munich and Bavaria many, many years ago... before kids)
I will admit, the kids were not to crazy about the broccoli.  (they prefer their vegetables boiled)  The original recipe asks for hard cider.  I chose beer, because I thought the taste would be milder for the kids.  Smoked pork sausages may also be substituted.  I thought the sauce was delicious! I doubled the ingredients.  The recipe below reflects a single recipe.  Serve with beer!



2 Granny Smith apples + half an apple
2 oz rye bread
1/2 cup beer
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar 
4 to 6 cheddar wursts
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb broccoli (cut into 1 inch pieces)
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 cup water
1  1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter




  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Use nonstick spray on a pan
  • Core 2 apples and place cut side down on pan
  • Bake for 30 minutes.  Remove from oven and let cool
  • Scoop out apple pulp and puree.  Discard the skins
  • Cut bread up into 1 inch cubes and bake for 10 minutes, until golden
  • In a pan, boil beer, vinegar, sugar and apple puree
  • Simmer, stirring until reduced to approximately 3/4 cup
  • Remove from heat
  • Broil or grill sausages  (the cheddar wursts come fully cooked)  until heated inside, remove and cover with foil to keep warm
  • In a large skillet,  heat oil and add broccoli 
  • Stir in ground mustard, caraway seeds, cider sauce and water
  • Cover and cook until al dente or soft
  • Remove from heat and stir in butter
  • Place sausage, bread pieces and 1/2 apple (cut into match sticks) on top of broccoli mixture
