1. 1Step 1: Drain the sauerkraut in a colander. Press down on it to get most of the liquid out. Let it sit in the colander to continue to drain while you prep the other ingredients.
2. 2Step 2: Cut the onions in half, then cut them into long thin slices. Cut the apple into thin half moons.
3. 3Step 3: Place a large, deep skillet with a lid over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the bratwurst. Pan sear the sausages for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned, but not cooked through. Set aside on a plate.
4. 4Step 4: Reduce the heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the onions, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden, about 8-10 minutes.
5. 5Step 5: Pour in the beer and stir to scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for about 1 minute and evaporate slightly.
6. 6Step 6: Add the drained sauerkraut, apples, and caraway seeds to the pan and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are beginning to soften.
7. 7Step 7: Put the bratwurst and resting juices back into the pan. Cover and continue to cook for about 20 minutes until the apples are soft, most of the liquid has evaporated, and the sausage is cooked through.
