Ingredients

  • 5 links bratwurst (about 1 ¼ lb)
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 cups sauerkraut
  • 1 (2.5 oz) bag dried sweet apple chips
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup dry red wine
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper

    2. Meanwhile, rinse sauerkraut under cool running water 30–40 seconds (to reduce tartness); drain well. Crush apple chips and place in microwave-safe bowl. Stir in sauerkraut and brown sugar; cover and microwave on HIGH 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until thoroughly heated.
