Cook's Note

Prepare recipe through step 2; store at room temperature up to 4 hours. To serve hot, spread vegetables on a rimmed baking sheet, and place in a 350 degree oven until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Proceed with step 3.

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange bacon in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until browned, 10 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts in a single layer; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until they begin to brown, about 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Remove from oven, and toss in apple. Return to oven; roast until Brussels sprouts are browned and tender and apple has softened, 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Toss vegetables with vinegar, and serve immediately.

    I made these for Thanksgiving dinner and they were a huge hit. Even people who said they don't like brussel sprouts loved them! Unique and tasty!

    I always try to add a new vegetable side for Thanksgiving and this one was easy and a hit. It impressed my guests because of the unusual apples and bacon additions to brussel sprouts. Brussel sprouts are sturdy so even the leftovers were good.

    The salty bacon and sweet apples and apple vinegar make this recipe a great way to get EVERYONE to eat their brussels sprouts even if they are adamant about not eating them. Yummy and easy to make.
