This is the best recipe ever for Brussel Sprouts. The Apple sweetens them up and the crushed red pepper give it a bit of a heat (depending on how much you use). Your kids will beg for Brussel Sprouts this way. I like to use sliced Red Onions in lieu of Apples sometimes. (Submitted to SparkRecipes by: SOCA_DEB)
