Cook the sausages in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. If making patties, cook for 5-7 minutes per side.

While the sausages are cooking, prepare the apple mustard. In a small saucepan, combine the diced apples, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar.

Cook the apple mustard mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are softened and the mixture has thickened slightly.

Serve the cooked Danish pork and leek sausages hot, with a generous dollop of the apple mustard on the side.
