• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bratwurst and brown well on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer bratwurst to a plate and set aside.

Return bratwurst to the skillet, nestling the sausages down into the apple/onion mixture. Pour cider over sausages, loosely cover the skillet with its lid or a piece of foil (so steam can escape) and reduce heat to medium-low. Braise until sausages are cooked through and apples are nearly tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer sausages to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Reduce the cooking liquids over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. To serve, arrange bratwurst on individual plates, spoon the apple mixture alongside and drizzle with the cooking liquids.
