I think an english barleywine with cider added would be delicious. Make 3 gallons of Low-hopped, overly high gravity english barley wine and add 2 gallons of cider...

My buddy made an octoberfest with some cider which was very well recieved. I don't have the recipe and he's in Paraguay for 2 years, so.....that's just about all I know about the beer.

I found this recipe online. It's an apple ale. I plan to try it at some point.
Also check the recipes here for AppleBee. Just bottled my first batch and it taste great.
Apple Ale
This recipe is all-gran. For extract brewers use 6 pounds of pale malt
extract, .5 pound of honey and 1/4 pound of biscuit malt to steep.
6# Great Western 2-row
1# Vienna Malt
.5# Car pools
.5# Munich Malt
3/4 gallon of raw cider immediately after boil
1.25 oz Hallertaur - boil
.5 oz Hallertaur - 5 min
California or East Coast Ale Yeast
This is a basic light golden ale with the cider added at the end to give it
some kick and aroma. Maybe try an Apple honey porter, or an Apple wheat
beer. Cider lends an unique flavor to beer that blends well with dry,
not-too hoppy beers.
