Something about this dish just makes it feel like an Oktoberfest meal.  I am not a big fan of smoked type sausages even though I am Polish, but making this in the oven made it feel milder and took away that harsh smoked sausage flavor that traditional kielbasa and sauerkraut has.  This is a perfect light lunch or dinner and would be perfect with potato pancakes or pierogies.

This was done on one sheet pan in no time flat.  I love the mix of savoy and red cabbage.  I usually use Savoy cabbage to make my homemade coleslaw as I find it is less sulfuric than traditional cabbage and doesn’t seem to cause as much gastric distress for my family!  This is a lovely dish to make for a lazy day supper or lunch, as it is done in no time flat, and once you slice the cabbage, apples and kielbasa you are done with it for the next 30 minutes.  I like to finish this with some white balsamic while it is just out of the oven and it makes it taste amazing.  Give this one a try you will wow your family and friends with this one pan wonder!  Promise.

Sinfully,
