Instructions
Step 1: Searing the Brats
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear brats for 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Set aside.
Step 2: Caramelizing the Onions and Apples
In the same skillet, sauté onions and apples with salt and pepper over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, until softened and golden. Pour in beer, scraping up browned bits from the bottom.
Step 3: Braising the Brats
Return brats to the skillet. Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until brats reach 160°F (71°C) internally.
Step 4: Serving
Let rest a few minutes before serving. Enjoy on their own, in a bun, or with your favorite mustard and sauerkraut!
Variations
Keto Version
