Are you looking for something new to spice up your fall holiday table or impress guests at your next gathering?
This insanely delicious, chilled spiced apple beer punch is a perfect choice because nothing says fall like apples and cinnamon.
Easy and quick to make, this beverage offers comforting flavors and since it's served chilled it is also a great refreshment all year round.
If you were to snoop around my house at any given time, you'd undoubtedly find these two things:
- Apples in my fruit bowl on the dining room table
- Some kind of beer in my messy refrigerator.
You would also only see me drink beer in these two scenarios:
- While I'm back in my homeland, or anywhere in Europe for that matter. Sitting outside a restaurant, watching people pass by, and sipping delicious European beer is my favorite summer pastime.
- When I take the first sip of my husband's freshly ordered beer. Rarely I will order my own here in the States and only so if it's an authentic German beer.
If your beer-drinking habit is like mine, aka an occasional affair, it will definitely change with this yummy apple and beer punch recipe. Not only are the flavors ideal for celebrating Oktoberfest and Thanksgiving, but this chilled punch is a perfect summer refreshment too.
Plus, it has fruit so it's healthy, right?
This punch goes perfectly with Swedish apple pie because it supplements the lack of cinnamon in the pie.
If you find yourself with extra beer and no one to drink it, make this beer and cheddar soup and then invite me over. Hot soup, a pie, and this chilled punch sound like a perfect meal to me. ๐
WHAT'S IN THIS APPLE BEER PUNCH?
- large apples (I used Honeycrisp, my favorite)
- sugar
- cinnamon sticks
- whole cloves
- light beer
- lemons
HOW TO MAKE IT?
- In a medium-size saucepan add sliced apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 3-5 minutes.
- Let cool completely. Stir in beer and lemon slices.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve chilled.
RECIPE NOTES:
- If you prefer, peel the apples. Infused with alcohol, they are a delicious treat on their own.
