Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put the leeks and apples into an ovenproof dish and arrange the sausages in a single layer on the top. Drizzle over the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss everything around. Dot the top with butter and pour in the cider. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
About 10 minutes before the end of cooking time, spread the mustard over the sausages and any sticking out apple pieces, and return to the oven.
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or rosemary roasted new potatoes.
