Pork Sausages Roasted with Onions and Apples

11/2 pounds sweet Italian sausages, lightly pricked with a fork 2 cups sliced onions 2 McIntosh apples, cored, halved and thickly sliced 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage, or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled Salt and freshly ground black pepper 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a roasting pan.
2. Place the sausages in a roasting pan and roast, turning occasionally, for 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, combine the onions and apples with the butter in a large bowl, toss to coat and season with the sage and salt and pepper to taste. Pour off the fat from the roasting pan and add the apple mixture to the pan, scattering it around the sausages.

Transfer to a large serving plate and sprinkle with the parsley.
