You don't always have to boil your brats in beer! I use this recipe just as often. The brats are full of flavor. Great alternative if you don't have any beer in the house. My family loves it.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my brats turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't have much flavor.

These brats were just okay. They were a bit dry and the flavor was just average.

These brats were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use a milder spice blend next time.

These brats were easy to make and turned out great! I used my own spice blend for the brine, and they were delicious.

I'm not a big fan of brats, but these were actually really good. The cider brine gave them a lot of flavor, and they were cooked perfectly.

Overall, I thought these brats were pretty good. They were juicy and flavorful, but I would have liked them to be a bit more crispy.

These brats were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory brine.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my brats turned out dry and tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I love the combination of flavors in these brats. The cider brine gives them a nice sweetness, while the spices add a savory depth of flavor. I'll definitely be making these again!

I've made these brats several times now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The cider brine is a great way to add flavor and moisture to the brats, and the cooking instructions are spot-on.

These cider-brined brats were a hit at my last BBQ! The brining process made the brats incredibly juicy and flavorful, and the cider gave them a slightly sweet and tangy flavor that was perfect for summer grilling.
