Ingredients

3 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts
10 bacon strips, chopped
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
2/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 medium apples, thinly sliced

Directions

Trim Brussels sprouts. Using the slicing blade on a food processor or a knife, thinly slice sprouts. Transfer to a large bowl. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 1/4 cup in pan.
Add onion to drippings; cook and stir over medium-high heat until tender, 3-5 minutes. Stir in vinegar, honey and mustard. Cook and stir 1 minute. Add bacon and apples to Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with onion mixture; toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
