  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound lady apples, halved through stem ends
1 1/2 pounds sweet Italian sausages
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 bunch watercress, trimmed (about 6 cups)
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples, cut side down, and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 5–8 minutes.

    Prick sausages with a fork, add to skillet with apples, and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 10–12 minutes. Add wine and vinegar to skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened (liquid should coat a spoon), about 4 minutes. Add watercress and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.
