1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1 large sweet onion (Vidalia, Walla Walla), sliced
2 (8-ounce) packages pork sausage
Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Mix maple syrup and brown sugar. Place apple and onion slices on 18-inch square of aluminum foil. Brush with half of the syrup mixture. Wrap foil securely around apples and onions. Cover and grill sausages and foil packet 4 to 5 inches from medium heat 15 minutes, turning sausages occasionally. Continue grilling about 5 minutes longer, brushing sausages with remaining syrup mixture, until sausages are no longer pink in center. Discard any remaining syrup mixture.
Healthy Hint:
Keep your grilling healthy and low-fat; stay away from sauces and marinades loaded with butter and oils. Use flavorful herbs and rubs to add a kick of flavor without adding calories.
