Wash, core and cut half the apples in quarters. Thinly slice the other half.

When the apples and the sausages are browned, after about 3-5 minutes add ¼ cup water and cover the pan.
Simmer and steam for 3-5 minutes, then remove lid and continue cooking until sausages are browned and heated through, the larger apples have softened and the sliced apples have turned to applesauce.
Remove from heat and remove the sausage rope to a cutting board. Slice sausage and either return to skillet or transfer the apples, sauce and sliced sausage to a serving platter.
