- 1/2 cup apple cider or apple juice
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Grease the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the slow cooker with cooking spray or use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
- Slice the Kielbasa: Cut 1 pound of kielbasa sausage into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them evenly in the slow cooker.

- Combine and Cook: Pour the apple mixture over the kielbasa in the slow cooker, ensuring the sausage is well-coated. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 1-2 hours.
