Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Apple

I follow the recipe exactly (rare for me). Delicious! A staple at Thanksgiving. When I make ahead (often), I reduce the cooking time a little so it's not mushy. Don't forget the vinegar.

We really liked these. The apple & bacon are delicious additions. I agree with the reviewer who said the cooking times were far too long, though. 10 minutes burned the first bits of bacon. I tried again with 4 minutes, which resulted in done bacon. The bacon continues to cook when you add the sprouts & apples, though, so it (the bacon) was too done when everything else was fully cooked. I think I will remove the bacon after it's done (leaving the grease) & add it back at the end next time.

These were pretty good. The apples were a very nice touch. However I found the cooking times to be way too long. The full time required for the bacon burned my first batch. I also thought there wasn't enough of it to contribute any kind of real flavor. Also the cooking time for the brussel sprouts dried them out. I'd try this recipe again but add more bacon and lessen the cooking times.

LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER WINNER!

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.
