Life improved big time! The husband and his pals are super into this meal, meaning I'm constantly cooking extra.

There’s nothing quite like the hearty, comforting flavor of brats cooked slowly with the deep, enriching taste of beer, especially when it has a twist of apple. This slow cooker apple beer brats recipe is a nod to my German heritage, infused with a touch of Midwestern charm. It’s perfect for chilly evenings, game days, or whenever you want a fuss-free meal that’s packed with flavor. This recipe is particularly dear to my heart because it reminds me of family gatherings, laughter, and the joy of sharing a delicious meal.
These apple beer brats are delightful when nestled in a crusty brat bun and topped with a spoonful of sauerkraut or caramelized onions for extra flavor. I love serving them alongside a tangy coleslaw, a warm potato salad, or even just some crispy roast potatoes. For a lighter side, a fresh apple salad with a vinaigrette dressing can add a crisp, refreshing touch that perfectly balances the savory brats.
