Veggie-Kielbasas with Apples and Onions

I adapted this from a recipe in Vegetarian Times. It was very flavourful and satisfying. We served it on top of "parsley poppy-seed pasta" with "super-simple string-bean salad" on the side.

4 soy kielbasa-style sausages (we used the Tofurky brand sausages)
1 T margarine
1 T canola oil
2 apples, cored and sliced into 12 wedges each
.5 t dill
salt and pepper
2 medium onions, sliced thin
1/4 c amber beer (you could probably use water or broth instead)
3 T brown sugar
3 T balsamic vinegar

Saute apples in .5 T margarine until soft and lightly browned. When cooked, season with salt, pepper, and dill.
Meanwhile, saute onions in remaining .5 T of margarine and .5 T oil until caramelized.
Add apples, beer, vinegar, and sugar to onions.
Stir to combine.
Cook until sauce is reduced, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, fry sausages in remaining .5 T oil until heated through and lightly browned.
Combine sausages with onion-apple mixture.
