Ingredients
- 2 packages of Bison Bratwurst from The Honest Bison
- 2 tbs grassfed butter or ghee
- 1 sweet onion, sliced thin
- 1 apple, sliced thin (I used a Granny Smith- but Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or any other baking apple will work!)
- 2 bottles of pumpkin beer (use glutenfree if GF)
- 1 tbs chopped sage leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbs arrowroot powder
- Fresh sauerkraut
Directions
Step 1
Heat butter in a heavy high rimmed skillet (I used cast iron). Add onion and saute for 8 minutes or until translucent.
Step 2
Add the apples and garlic. Saute for 3-5 more minutes.
Step 3
Add bratwurst and beer. Bring to a boil then lower to a slight simmer. Partially cover to cook the bratwurst for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile preheat a griddle to sear the bratwurst.
Step 5
Turn cast iron heat down to medium-low and stir in the arrowroot powder and allow to reduce and thicken (5 minutes)
Step 6
While the sauce thickens, sear the bratwurst in the heated griddle pan until there are grill marks.
Step 7
Serve brats alongside with sauce, sauerkraut, and your favorite side. I chose air fryer potatoes.
