This is a wonderful tangy, sweet, and delicious way to eat apples. I love it with apples, but my mom also does this with strawberries or pears. I've also done this with just one apple for myself when I wanted a quick snack. Pink lady and red delicious apples will also work well.

BLACK AND TANS
In their quest to achieve this drink's signature demarcation between stout and ale, some beer fanatics invest in a special Black and Tan spoon that can hook over the side of the glass. An inexpensive spoon bent at a 90-degree angle will work just as well.

BLACK AND TANS
We are happy to announce that Jeanne Brophy has won our December 2005 "Cook the Cover" contest with her delicious variation on our [Mini Black-and-White Cookies](/recipes/food/views/233293) . Jeanne Brophy explains her variation: My variation is in the frosting. I'm not super crazy about the traditional approach. So thinking that this cookie is really a petite cake in disguise I developed a chocolate (Black) and peanut butter (Tan) buttercream frosting. Dee-licious!

Steps:
- Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 large baking sheets.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir together buttermilk and vanilla in a cup. Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes, then add egg, beating until combined well. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture and buttermilk mixture alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture, and mixing just until smooth.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of batter 1 inch apart onto baking sheets. Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until tops are puffed, edges are pale golden, and cookies spring back when touched, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a rack to cool.
- Mix peanut butter and butter together with a hand mixer. Gradually blend in the sugar and half and half. Blend until fluffy and light. Can be prepared a day or two in advance, tightly wrapped, and refrigerated. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
- Mix cocoa and butter together with a hand mixer. Gradually blend in the sugar and half and half. Blend until fluffy and light. Can be prepared a day or two in advance, tightly wrapped, and refrigerated. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
- With offset spatula, spread peanut butter frosting over half of flat side of each cookie. Starting with cookies you iced first, spread chocolate frosting over other half.
Tips for Making the Perfect Black and Tan:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This means using a good stout and a light, refreshing ale. Avoid using beers that are too sweet or heavy.
- Chill the beer properly. This will help to create a nice, foamy head on the beer.
- Use a clean glass. This will help to prevent the beer from becoming cloudy.
- Pour the beer carefully. Start by pouring the stout into the glass, then slowly pour the ale on top. Avoid stirring the beer.
- Enjoy the beer immediately. Black and tans are best enjoyed fresh.
