Sausage Traybake with Apples and Onions
Wide, low-sided baking sheets are ideal for oven-easy dinners; they facilitate heat circulation for better browning. We pair savory sausages with sweet apples and onions, which get a flavor boost from spicy mustard; a glug of hard apple cider or beer is used to deglaze the baking sheet. We love the double dose of apple flavor from cider, though a crisp lager or malty amber beer also is delicious; if you prefer, use low-sodium chicken broth instead. Select apples with a firm texture yet thin skin that stays tender during roasting. Honeycrisp and Gala are good options.

Big payoff for minimal effort
What a delicious dish. Minimal effort with a big payoff. Thank you Milk Street! Recipe times were perfect; gala apples stayed firm and tasty, used Italian sausage from a local farmer, which worked well. We appreciated the clean flavours and the herbal notes from the sage. Will make again.

Adding to the weeknight rotation
Two parents + a toddler, and we all liked it. Easy to make and easy to clean. Followed the recipe except that I used a 0% alcohol wheat beer. Worked really well. Already looking forward to making it again.

Yum!
We loved this - hearty, satisfying, easy to put together. Beyond brats worked well. We used summer Rambo apples from the farmer's market, which kind of turned to mush in the oven. Apparently not a firm variety. We served with a fresh salad and spätzle.

Deelish!
I stuck to the recipe and it was great. I do think that I will start the sausages early with the onion and cook the apples less.

Delicious
Super simple and really good. I used a big sheet pan and roasted some cabbage alongside the other things to go with.
