Savory and sweet appetizer bites made with smoky kielbasa and caramelized apples, perfect for parties and holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340 g) kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1-inch rounds
  • 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Gala), diced
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
  2. Add diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Stir in Dijon mustard and honey. Remove apple mixture and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add kielbasa slices and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
  5. Return the apple mixture to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 1–2 more minutes until heated through.
  6. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with chopped herbs if using.
  7. Serve warm with toothpicks for easy party bites.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a sharper contrast in flavor.
  • Try maple syrup instead of honey for a deeper sweetness.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • These can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
  • Pairs well with a sharp cheese or crusty bread on an appetizer platter.
