How to Make Autumn Brussles

  1. Place 4 slices of bacon in a cold, large skillet.
  2. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crispy (about 8-10 minutes). Remove bacon from pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
  3. While bacon cooks, peel, core, and thinly slice 1 medium Gala apple.
  4. Finely dice 1/2 small shallot.
  5. If using fresh Brussels sprouts, trim and halve or quarter 1 pound of Brussels sprouts. If using frozen, thaw completely and pat dry.
  6. Add the sliced apples and diced shallot to the skillet with the bacon grease. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
  7. Add the prepared Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Stir to coat with the bacon grease.
  8. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until Brussels sprouts are tender-crisp and apples are softened. Stir occasionally.
  10. Crumble the cooled bacon and garnish the Brussels sprouts before serving.
