1 tablespoon olive oil
Skewers (wooden or metal)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients

Cut the sausage into ½-inch thick slices.
Core the apples and cut them into bite-sized cubes.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.

In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.
Set aside for brushing during cooking.

3. Assemble the Skewers

Thread a piece of sausage, followed by an apple cube, onto the skewers.
Repeat until the skewer is filled, leaving a small space at each end.

4. Cook the Skewers

Grill Method:

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F).
Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil.
Grill the skewers for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with the maple glaze until caramelized.

Oven Method:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place skewers on a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway and brushing with glaze.

Stovetop Method:

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the skewers for 6-8 minutes, turning and glazing until browned.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Drizzle with extra glaze before serving.
Pair with Dijon mustard, honey mustard, or a creamy dipping sauce.

Expert Tips for the Recipe

✅ Use Firm Apples – Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples hold their shape best during cooking.
