Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer until sugar dissolves and sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Place sliced kielbasa in a baking dish or on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Pour the glaze over the kielbasa pieces and toss to coat evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the kielbasa halfway through for even caramelization.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving with toothpicks or skewers.

Notes

You can substitute maple syrup for honey for a different flavor profile.
Serve warm for best taste and texture.
These bites can be kept warm in a slow cooker for party settings.
