Chicken & Apple Sausage with Apples and Onions

Tired of chicken? Here is another delicious recipe to try. The "chicken and apple" is just part of the sausage, so I don't consider it to be a chicken recipe. It may sound like a weird combination of ingredients at first, but this is one of my family's favorite dishes. I was longing for a taste from home a while ago so I decided to make it. I even brought left overs to work for lunch one day and a few people mentioned how yummy it smelled. This is simplified from the recipe from the Aidell's website: http://aidells.com/recipe/275

Chicken & Apple Sausage with Apples and Onions

2 Tbsp unsalted butter
4 Aidells Chicken Apple Sausage
1 large (preferably red) onion, thinly sliced
2 small apples (preferably green, however, I used Gala), cored and chopped
1/4 C apple juice or apple cider
dash of cinnamon and nutmeg

Rice-A-Roni, cooked according to package (I believe it's butter and water added to it.)

Instructions

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages whole and brown for 5 minutes on each side.

 Remove them, slice them up and add them back to the pan. Add the remaining butter and the onion to the pan. Sauté over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Add the apples and sauté for 2-3 minutes longer. They should be cooked but still firm.

Pour in the cider and reduce over high heat for 3 or 4 minutes, until the sauce is syrupy.
Serve with Rice-A Roni or pasta
