When I lived in Omaha, I went to an apple orchard to pick some apples.  They had brats w/ apple & cinnamon mixed in it.  Of course I took a couple packs home.
Man, was it good.  The cinnamon really added a nice flavor.
Please let us know how they turn out
get smokin

So NePas....I assume those apples should be really finely diced? Or do you really want them in a, say "normal dice" as they will lose a lot of H2O in cooking?

Hey Nepas...we are doing great...truly enjoyed having you and your son here...

I'm gonna ask a maybe stupid question....but if you want the apple flavor and maybe not a "big" texture...could you grind half of the apple with the meat and fine dice the other half and mix it in after grinding? Seems like you could get the essence of the apple ground...and the texture in the mix??? Just thinkin out loud...????

Thanks for the recipe....have friends out this weekend...may show the recipe to them and make it together. (They are foodies)...this entire "smoking thing" is amazing to them...they tend to go Italian and French....but they are smoking sponges they want to learn everything.....I see a Bradley in their future....  :)
