Spiced Apples, Cabbage, Carmelized Onions, Candied Pecans and Sausage

I threw this together using the last of February's winter share and am quite proud of myself ... perhaps I'm getting a hang of this whole cooking thing.

1 onion
2 apples, cored and sliced
1 tbsp of butter
1 tsp each of nutmeg, allspice, and cloves
1/2-1 cup of pecans (or other nut)
1 tbsp of maple syrup
1 head of cabbage
4 pre-cooked sausages (I used TJ's Chicken Apple Sausages)
oil for sauteing

Pre-heat the oven to 350. Slice the onion, spread out on pan, and place in oven. Stir occasionally until brown.

Meanwhile, heat butter in a large pan over medium high heat. When the butter is melted, add the spices and then the apples. Stir-fry the apples until brown then remove the apples from the pan and set aside.

Turn the heat to low and add the pecans. Toast for a few minutes then pour in the maple syrup. Mix until nuts are completely covered then remove from pan and set aside.

Add a little bit of oil to the pan if needed and turn the heat up to medium high. Add the sausage and cabbage and stir-fry until cabbage begins to wilt. Add the apples and pecans back into the pan and cook until everything is warm.
