Description

Ingredients

• 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 pound brussels sprouts, halved
• 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

• In a medium skillet, cook bacon until crispy.
• Remove bacon from skillet and all but ~2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
• Add brussels sprouts, cooking until they are browned and softened through. This can take anywhere from 10-15 minutes and is often a personal preference. I like mine more browned, so I cook closer to 15 minutes.
• Add apple for the last approximately 5 minutes, so the diced pieces cook until softened.
• In small bowl whisk together garlic, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and salt, until combined.
• Add mixture to brussels sprout/apple mixture and cook until the sauce is reduced, about 2 minutes.
• Add bacon back to pan and stir to combine.
• Serve and enjoy!
