1 tbsp wholegrain mustard

Method

Heat the oven to 160ºC fan/ gas 4. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large casserole. Add the sausages and brown for 5 minutes, turning regularly. Set the sausages aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the casserole. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and fry over a low-medium heat for 15 minutes or until golden and sticky.
Once the onions are cooked, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the cider and bring to the simmer, then stir in the veg stock, mustard, bay and thyme. Return the sausages to the pan along with the apples, then cover with a lid or foil. Transfer to the oven for 40 minutes. Once cooked, remove the thyme and serve with mashed potatoes and steamed green veg alongside.
