Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
0 mins

Lay a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil over a baking sheet.

03

Step
0 mins

In the center of the foil, combine the drained sauerkraut, kielbasa sausage, sliced onion, olive oil, melted butter, black pepper, and caraway seeds. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined.

04

Step
0 mins

Bring up the sides of the foil and double-fold the top and ends to create a sealed packet. Ensure there is some room inside the packet for heat circulation.

05

Step
30 mins

Place the foil packet on the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes.

06

Step
0 mins

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Using a sharp knife, cut along the top fold of the foil packet to release the steam. Be cautious as the steam will be hot.

07

Step
0 mins

Open the top of the foil packet and stir in the coarsely chopped Granny Smith apples. Reseal the foil packet, adding another piece of foil to the top if necessary to ensure a tight seal.

08

Step
10 mins

Return the sealed foil packet to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes.

For a deeper flavor, consider browning the kielbasa in a skillet before adding it to the foil packet.
If you prefer a sweeter dish, use a sweeter variety of apple, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the mix, such as potatoes, carrots, or bell peppers.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a side of crusty bread for soaking up the delicious juices.

    Make sure to drain the sauerkraut well, or it can get a bit soggy.
