Warm Brussles Sprouts with Apples and Red Onion

Serves 6-8
Adapted from a recipe my sister Katie Dunn gave me. We loved it as a side-dish at Christmas. Great anytime for a fall or winter side-dish. Try with roasted meats or as a side to Apple Chicken Spiced Sausage available at Giant under the Nature's Promise brand.

2 slices applewood smoked bacon (no nitrates, available at Giant or Whole Foods)
2 cups diced and peeled Granny Smith apples
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbls cider vinegar
3 cups Brussels Sprouts, cut into quarters
1 tsp stone-ground mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

1. Cook bacon in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Add apple, onion, and garlic to drippings in pan; saute for 5 min or until lightly browned. Add 1 tablespoon water and vinegar to the pan, scraping to loosen browned bits.
2. Meanwhile, steam Brussels sprouts in a separate pan with a few tablespoons of water until almost fork tender.
3. Add Brussels sprouts to pan with apples and cook, stirring frequently, until tender (1-2 minutes). Stir in mustard, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with bacon.
