To cook bratwurst in the oven, follow these simple steps: Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Add sliced onion, apple slices, garlic, and seasonings to the Dutch oven and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. PRO TIP: If you're in a hurry, you can completely skip browning the brats.
Add the bratwursts to the skillet, searing them on all sides. Pour the craft beer over the bratwursts and bring to a simmer.
