I'm not going to do that to a well-crafted brat. I'm talking about your Sam's Club 18-pack of Johnsonvilles.

And "dedicating a day" is overstating it quite a bit. I'd consider dedicating a day to firing up the smoker for a shoulder or brisket with rubs, injections, heat-monitoring, sprays, wraps, etc.

This is about 5 minutes of throwing stuff in a pan and checking it every hour or so to make sure it's not simmering too high.

I know good dolphin is swamped with a busy school reunion calendar year-round that he barely has a free second, but maybe a Dewskie could spare a few minutes to give it a shot.

Ah! Yeah maybe I'll pick a weekend and give it a whirl.

say goodbye to your random weekday brat cravings !

I don't disagree that such preparation would be delicious, but I agree with dolphin - it's a brat. If the brat is already well-crafted, you shouldn't have to do more than grill/fry the meat to your liking. If you're going to dedicate a day or a long period of hours to food, make it a really good cut of steak or the like.

apples don't belong in a brat

Or in chicken salad.
