Place the brats side by side in a saucepan. Fill with enough water to cover the brats by at least one inch.
Add ½ cup of apple juice and 1 sliced onion. Don’t make the slices too thin or you will have trouble with them sticking to the brats when you remove them from the pot.
Turn on the heat to medium. Once the water starts boiling, cover and reduce the heat. Simmer the brats for 10 to 15 minutes.
In the meantime, preheat an outdoor grill to medium (450F)
When preheated, place the brats on the grill. Use large tongs to turn from time to time until well brown. About 10 minutes.
Serve hot with brat buns, ketchup, mustard and relish. You can also serve with grilled onions. To grill onions, slice 3 onions into thick slices. Vidalia onions work well. Their high sugar content helps them caramelize better. Heat in a pan with a combination of butter and olive oil. Start with one tablespoon of butter and one tablespoon of olive oil. Add one more tablespoon of butter if needed. Season to taste.
