If your kids, or you, claim you don't like Brussels sprouts, you haven't tried this recipe. The trick with Brussels sprouts is to not overcook them and to add interesting, tangy flavors.
Mixing the sweet and tangy flavors of the apples and vinegar really makes this dish stand out - perfect for company, too. Enjoy!
