Tender vegetables, savory sausages, and sweet apples all come together on one baking sheet to create an easy, flavor-packed autumn dinner.

In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring the garlic and beer to a simmer, then add the sausages. Add up to 1 cup of water as needed to cover the sausages. Bring back to a boil, turn heat down to medium-low, and boil for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper.

Pour over the vegetables and apples, then toss until coated.

Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Place sausages on top.

Bake for 45-55 minutes, flipping sausages and stirring once halfway through cooking time, until all of the vegetables are tender. Enjoy!
