I like to use a crisp, slightly tart apple like Cosmic Crisp.

• 1-2 pound brussels sprouts
• 1 large red apple, cored and diced
• 2-4 slices bacon, raw (cut into 1" pieces)
• 1/2-1 cup pecan halves
• 3-4 cloves garlic, sliced thickly
• 2-3 tablespoon olive oil
• to taste salt
• to taste ground pepper

1. Preheat oven to 425°F
2. Clean Brussel sprouts and remove bad outer leaves then cut in half.
3. Place sprouts, diced apples, bacon pieces, garlic and pecan halves on a large baking sheet.
4. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
5. Roast in preheated oven for 15 minutes then stir. Return to oven and roast until bacon is crisp and sprouts are browned, 10-15 minutes.
