Steps

1. 1

   Begin by preheating the broiler.

2. 2

   In a large, heavy skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat until the foam dissipates. Add the onions and apples along with the bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Stir occasionally until they turn golden brown, which should take approximately 6 minutes.

3. 3

   Begin by splitting the bratwurst lengthwise, ensuring not to cut all the way through, and then gently open them up. Brush the exposed sides of the bratwurst with a light coating of oil before placing them in a shallow baking pan with the split sides facing upwards.
