Festive foods take on new meaning when made with serious beer. And who doesn’t like a freshly baked apple crisp made with Guinness’ iconic dry stout and topped with a crunchy and buttery Irish oat crumble and sea salt whipped cream?

This tasty recipe comes our way from Guinness and it uses the brewery’s classic Guinness Draught, a medium-bodied 4.2% ABV Dry Stout that’s popular around the world.

This hearty Irish dessert is easy to make and the beer really adds something special.

So let’s do this!
