How to Make Pittsburgh Kielbasa
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Place kielbasa in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Pierce kielbasa with a fork in several places to allow for even cooking and draining.
- Carefully drain off excess grease from the baking dish.
- Cut kielbasa into 1-inch bite-size pieces.
- Arrange the sliced onion evenly over the kielbasa in the baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce and brown sugar until well combined.
- Pour the applesauce mixture evenly over the kielbasa and onions.
- Increase oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until the kielbasa is heated through and the glaze is caramelized and slightly bubbly. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with decorative toothpicks for a festive look.
