This is a baked apple recipe from somewhere (all I have is a photo-copied sheet) that I tweaked a little by adding some beer. The Oktoberfest style of beer is a sweet, easy drinking lager with strong caramel notes as a distinguishing factor, so it w... More

Ingredients
  • 8 medium baking apples
  • 1-2 TBSP lemon juice
  • 1 C sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 C Oktoberfest lager style beer, the sweeter the better. Sly Fox Brewing makes a pretty good one....or you can brew your own :)
  • 1 C packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 C all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 C butter

Directions
  1. Peel, halve, and core apples. Sprinkle the cut edges with lemon juice.
  2. Combine sugar, cinnamon, and beer in a large pot (make sure it's large, because the beer will foam up quite high on the hot break). Bring to a slow boil.
  3. Add apples to the syrup, simmer until apples have absorbed much of the liquid. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, flour, and baking powder. Cut in the butter. Set aside.
  5. Place apples in a medium to large baking dish.
  6. Simmer remaining liquid down to a syrup. Drizzle syrup over the apples.
  7. Spoon butter/brown sugar mixture over apples and bake at 350F for 20-30 minutes, until topping is brown.
  8. Serve as is or with cream...whipped or otherwise.

Stout, I have to say my husband always tells me there are 2 choices of drink with a big slice of dessert (preferably something chocolate)...a tall glass of cold milk, or an ice cold glass of beer - I always thought he wasn't quite "all there", and now you go and confirm that his taste buds are not crazy after all - I will have to apologize to him! Regardless of WHAT you would drink with this dessert, though, it has to be excellent...we will definitely give it a try when the apples hit our market this fall. Thanks!


I don't drink beer myself, but love cooking with it. It adds unique flavor to dishes and compliments the taste. I'll definitely try this one out. Good idea.
