WOW WOW WOW! This was spectacular! I used homemade applesauce and some of the Johnsonville sweety sausages and removed it from the casing before cooking it. Then threw in the applesauce and sugar and onion and cooked it. I wrapped it up in phyllo dough and baked it instead of baking it alltogether to make for an easier snack and had I not syopped my boyfriend, he would have eaten all of them! This will be getting made again soon! My mom's already requested that I make it for her after hearing my rave reviews. Spectacularly delicious!

so easy and a real crowd pleaser! I used spicy italian sausage.

I didn't like this recipe. Maybe because I used applesauce with cinnamon. I won't be making it again, but because of all the rest of the great reviews, try it for yourself! Thanks anyways!

This was a hit, everyone loved it and it was so easy to make. Don't mind making this appetizer when I am too busy to cook! I am going to try making it with spicy sausage next time.

I used this sauce on slices of precooked jalepeno sausage and served with toothpicks as an appetizer. Everyone loved it- I had tried this sausage previously and it was way to spicy for me but this sauce was wonderful and toned down the spiciness of the sausage. Want to try this again using precooked garlic sausage.

This is a great recipe. It was so easy to make, great for a make ahead appetizer. After tasting the sausage and commenting to my husband how good it was, he informed me he added beer to the skillet after he browned the meat. We cooked the sausage in a pan with chopped onions, browned, then added 1/4 cup beer. The second time we made it we used alittle less brown sugar, much better, not so sweet. Really Good....

This recipe is good but needs some adjustments. First, 2 pounds of sausage is just way too much for an appetizer designed for 8 people(1 link per person). I used 1.5 pounds (6 links) for 12 people and that was still a lot. Second, there is way too much brown sugar in the original recipe. I added 2 Tbsp and that was plenty. Next time I'll try it with none at all.

With all the high ratings, I really thought this would be amazing. Instead, it was too sweet and the combination of flavors was strange. I made it exactly as written. No one at the party particularly liked it, and it even looked unappetizing. Now I'll have to find a use for all this leftover sausage!

I have been trying out some appetizer recipes for an upcoming open house.My Hubby Loved Loved Loved It. I thought it a little sweet, but I don't particuarly like real sweet, hubby does. It's a keeper.I did like the defnite apple taste.

I made this for a potluck dinner with friends and it was awesome! My cooking skills are suspect at best (which is why I love this site and the reviews - so helpful to us fledgling cooks!). I was amazed at how simple this was to put together. I used extremely hot sausage (which is what we prefer). The sweet and the spicy - perfect! This is going in the regular rotation!

This was awesome! I took it Christmas Eve where my family gathers and everyone just brings appetizers. It was the first to go and everyone was asking for the recipe. I don't normally eat this type of stuff, but my husband loved it and begged me to try it. I can't wait to make it again! New Years Eve I will be using it as a side dish.

I guess I am going against the crowd and saying I wasn't really thrilled with this recipe, and I followed it to the letter. It was okay, but I think I would make a few changes...I would cut about a third out of the brown sugar, and maybe use a hotter sausage..was very sweet, and I like sweet....but was a rather strange combination of flavors...the onions were very good. It wasn't bad, just none of us thought was that great

Excellent. Consistently popular (even with friends that don't normally like sausage.) The only thing I do differently is use a low-fat sausage and I cut it up into the little pieces before browning it. (I used regular sausage once, and ended up with 1/2" of oil floating on top.) Last time, I used Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage with Maple Syrup made by Al Fresco. Yummy!

They were very good, and we all enjoyed them very much!

This dish is POSITIVELY awesome. I tripled the recipe and took it to our office party. Everyone raved about it. At least five people asked me for the recipe. I think toothpicks, though, are not the way to go. I provided small bowls so everyone could enjoy the onions, sausage and broth together. I feel it could also be served as an appetizer.

Very simple recipe that is very tasty. I used regular applesauce since that's what I had on hand and it was delicious.

I made this for my daughters birthday party. It was a huge hit. There were no leftovers. I chose to use sweet italian w/basil sausage and my seven year old daughter and five year old niece loved it cause it was not spicy at all. Any kind of sausage would work great in this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
