     I never thought Brussels sprouts could taste so good! Despite my not having apple juice or enough onion, it was VERY good! - 2/25/10

     I have used this for years now EXCEPT for the apple.My original recipe was called "Brussels Sprouts for people who Hate Brussels Sprouts" and so far I have a number of converts to love them. Great job posting this and I will use a sweet apple instead of the Granny. THANKS ! - 11/20/13

     We used pancetta instead of bacon and was yummy. Suggest searing/grilling brussel sprouts for more crunch. - 11/23/13
