Oven Braised Beer Brats with Caramelized Onions and Apples

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, soft pretzels, or crusty bread.


Variations & Tips

  • Spicy twist: Add red pepper flakes or a sliced jalapeño with the onions and apples.

  • Non-alcoholic: Substitute beer with apple cider or extra beef broth.

  • Gluten-free: Use gluten-free beer and broth, and serve with gluten-free sides.

  • Alternative sausages: Try chicken or turkey brats for a lighter option.


This recipe balances sweet and savory perfectly, and the brats soak up all the rich flavors from the onions, apples, and braising liquid.
