I've made many variations of this excellent main dish. The bratwurst can be plain, smoked or cheese-flavored, served whole or cut in slices, with a bun or without. It would be popular at a party or potluck.

I make this once a week. My family loves it! I use 10 brats, and I add a half of cabbage quartered. Delicious!

This was delicious! I followed the recipe except used a jumbo onion and a little more brown sugar. Will make again for sure!

Family loved it! I made this in a slow cooker. It's summer so I substituted 1 cup of apple butter for the apples. Left out mustard & bacon and doubled sugar & onion. This was delicious! A keeper!
