This slow cooker 3-ingredient Amish sausage and apples is the kind of sweet and savory dish my uncle swears by for busy weeknights and chilly Sundays.
It’s inspired by simple Amish farmhouse cooking—nothing fussy, just good smoked sausage, apples, and a touch of brown sugar that turns into a sticky, caramelized syrup as it cooks. You literally drop everything into the pot, walk away, and come back to a meal the whole family will happily devour. It’s especially nice when you want something cozy that makes the house smell amazing without a lot of work.
Serve this sausage and apples right out of the slow cooker with a big spoon so everyone can scoop up plenty of that dark, glossy syrup. It’s wonderful over creamy mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or simple white or brown rice to soak up the juices. For something lighter, pair it with steamed green beans, a crisp green salad, or roasted carrots. Warm dinner rolls or a crusty loaf of bread are great for mopping up the sweet-and-savory sauce. If you’re feeding kids, keep the sides simple and familiar—corn, peas, or even plain buttered toast work perfectly.
