Directions

Brats & Apples

1. Preheat oven to 425º F.
2. Place the brats, shallots, Brussels sprouts, and thyme leaves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are beginning to char at the edges and the brats are starting to sizzle.
4. Remove and scatter the apple slices around the baking sheet. Cook for another 6 to 8 minutes, or until the apple skins are bright red and the apples are just tender and the brats are cooked through.

Mustard Dipping Sauce

1. Mix all ingredients together and set aside until serving.

To Serve

1. Serve the dish right off the baking sheet, with lemon halves or wedges and fresh thyme sprigs if desired. Enjoy!
