This easy, dump-and-stir slow cooker meal is rooted in Midwestern traditions, with a little Eastern European flair. We start with baby red potatoes, which hold up beautifully throughout the long cook time, and toss them with sliced chicken-apple sausage and cubed Granny Smith apples. The apples melt down to basically applesauce over time, melding with the chicken stock, apple cider, and whole-grain mustard to create a sauce that coats the sausage and potatoes; we recommend Granny Smiths for their wonderfully tart flavour.
