• 2 small red cooking apples
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 8 medium red potatoes

Meanwhile, cut onion into 12 wedges; core and cut each apple into 8 wedges. Drain sausage and potatoes, and cut potatoes into wedges. In large skillet, cook and stir onion and apples in 1 tablespoon butter 4 minutes, or until apples are just tender. Remove from skillet.
