- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add kielbasa slices; cook 3–4 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned and edges crisp.
2. Make the Glaze
- Sprinkle brown sugar over kielbasa.
- Pour apple cider vinegar around the edges (it will bubble!).
- Optional: Stir in Dijon mustard or red pepper flakes.
3. Simmer to Perfection
- Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens into a glossy, sticky glaze that coats the sausage.
4. Finish & Serve
- Optional: Swirl in 1 tbsp butter for extra shine.
- Serve warm with toothpicks—watch them vanish!
