How to Make Beer Bathed Brats With Sauerkraut And Apples

Preheat grill to medium heat.
In a heavy-duty foil pan, arrange the bratwurst in a single layer.
Thinly slice the onion and apple.
Scatter the sliced onions, apples, and drained sauerkraut evenly over the bratwurst in the pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beer, mustard, and caraway seeds (if using).
Pour the beer mixture over the bratwurst and vegetables in the pan.
Place the foil pan on the indirect heat section of your grill. (If using a campfire, arrange coals to create indirect heat.)
Grill for 20 minutes, turning the bratwurst occasionally, until they are nearly cooked through.
Remove the bratwurst from the pan; set aside. Leave the pan on the grill to continue cooking the sauerkraut mixture.
Grill the bratwurst over direct medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until nicely browned.
Serve the bratwurst immediately in hot dog buns, topped with the warm sauerkraut and apple mixture.
Add extra mustard, if desired.
