This is a variant of a recipe that I have posted previously, but this one uses a slow cooker:

1 1/2lb pork sausages
1oz butter (or margerine)
8oz leeks, washed & sliced
1 lb cooking apples, peeled, cored & sliced
2 1/4 oz packet instant potato
salt & freshly ground black pepper
8 fl oz dry cider

Cut each sausage into 4. Melt fat in frying pan and cook sausages and leeks for 10 mins until browned. Cook apples in boiling water for 1 minute; drain well.
Place sausage mixture and apples in electric casserole/crock pot/slow cooker/whatever you want to call it.
Sprinkle instant potato and seasoning on top, pour over cider and stir well.
Place lid in position and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6 hours.

Traditionally my family serve this with baked beans. I always end up using more cider than that, too...
