Oktoberfest: The Alpine Restaurant

Travel to Honesdale and taste the flavors of Germany at the Alpine Restaurant.
Braised Bratwurst
Note:  This is not the recipe from the segment on the Alpine Restaurant, however, the following is a recipe from the Alpine Wurst and Meat House Deli:
Ingredients:
5 bratwurst sausages
1 C. chopped carrots
1 bottle dark beer or 1 C Riesling wine
1 C. chopped onions
1/2 cabbage-sliced into 5 wedges
salt and pepper
1 C. chopped apples
1 tbls. caraway seeds
Directions:
Start with 2 C. of water and simmer the sausages in a skillet, this leaches out some of the fat and keeps the sausage from getting too brown.  When the water evaporates, brown the sausages on both sides.  Add onions and cook until the onions are clear and lightly browned.  Add apples and cook until soft.  Add carrots and cabbage, caraway and the beer or wine.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Cover and simmer until the cabbage is tender.
