Notes

A note on the size of your baking dish - the one I have used in the photos is 20 x 30 x 5 ½ cm (8 x 12 x 2") - I would suggest that this size would be the minimum I would use. I have also made this recipe in a 30 cm (12") - top measurement - round ovenproof skillet with similar results. This size baking dish/skillet fits the tomato & apple quite snugly - if you go for a slightly larger dish your tomatoes & apples will tend to cook down a little bit more.

By laying the sausages on top of the tomato & apple, you will have some pieces that will hold their shape & not cook down as much due to being shielded by the sausages. I quite like this in the finished dish, as it adds texture. If you would rather that not happen, you will need to use a larger baking dish/skillet and nestle the sausages down into the tomato & apple mixture.
