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 was ALMOST a no-brainer.

Ingredients
- 8 medium baking apples shopping list
- 1-2 TBSP lemon juice shopping list
- 1 C sugar shopping list
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon shopping list
- 1 C Oktoberfest lager style beer, the sweeter the better. Sly Fox Brewing makes a pretty good one....or you can brew your own :) shopping list
- 1 C packed light brown sugar shopping list
- 1/2 C all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1/2 tsp baking powder shopping list
- 1/3 C butter shopping list
How to make it
- Peel, halve, and core apples. Sprinkle the cut edges with lemon juice.
- 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.
- Add apples to the syrup, simmer until apples have absorbed much of the liquid. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, flour, and baking powder. Cut in the butter. Set aside.
- Place apples in a medium to large baking dish.
- Simmer remaining liquid down to a syrup. Drizzle syrup over the apples.
- Spoon butter/brown sugar mixture over apples and bake at 350F for 20-30 minutes, until topping is brown.
- Serve as is or with cream...whipped or otherwise.

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.
