Ingredients
To prepare this delicious meal, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 pounds Polish sausage (kielbasa or your favorite variety)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bag (16 oz) sauerkraut, drained

Instructions

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large oven-safe dish or roasting pan, layer the sauerkraut evenly on the bottom.
- Top the sauerkraut with the sliced onions and garlic. If you’re using caraway seeds, sprinkle them over the layers for an extra touch of flavor.
- Place the sausages on top of the sauerkraut mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Add the sliced apples around the sausages for a sweet contrast.
- Pour the chicken broth over everything, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, remove the foil and let it bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, allowing the sausages to brown and the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
