Apple-Brat Burgers for Two

There I was, staring down the dinner table with nothing prepped. Not a single thing ringing my bell or a craving to be had. Inspiration was no where in sight. Lucky for me, there was a little of this, and a little of that looking for some love in the fridge. And from those scraps these epic Apple-Brat Burger Recipe for two were born. I knew there was a reason those brats were there.

Grab some slaw. Let’s go.
