In a large saucepan, simmer sauerkraut with applesauce and apple juice for 20 minutes.
In a large deep skillet, heat butter over medium heat; add onions and sauté, stirring frequently, until very soft, about 10 minutes.
Add brown sugar, and cook for 5 more minutes.The onions should be caramelized.
Add apple pieces and sauté for 5 more minutes until apples are just tender.
Add to sauerkraut along with cinnamon, salt and pepper.
Keep warm until ready to serve.
Prepare a medium-hot fire in grill.
Grill bratwurst directly over fire, turning, until evenly browned, about 5-7 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
Remove bratwurst from grill and serve with sauerkraut.

Ground pork is safe to eat when cooked to 160 degrees.
