Sauteed Brussels Sprouts and Apples

Sauteed Brussels Sprouts and Apples

I’ve been on the lookout for a Brussels Sprouts recipe to try, so when I was asked* to make a recipe from the BJ’s Cooking Club site, these Sauteed Brussels Sprouts and Apples sold me right away. I tweaked the recipe a bit (to add BACON) and it turned out awesome! The lightly sweet apples, smoky bacon, buttery spread, savory onions and earthy Brussels sprouts paired together perfectly. This is an easy recipe and would make a great side dish for a holiday meal or family dinner. To view your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site, click here!

If you’re unfamiliar with BJ’s Wholesale Club, it’s a membership-based chain of warehouse retail stores that offers great deals, often on bulk quantity products. BJ’s has many of the big brands you’re familiar with, and in addition to a robust grocery section, they also have deals on electronics, books, cleaning supplies, health and beauty products and more. I can’t tell you how nice it is to get a great deal on large quantities of items I use frequently (chicken broth, tomato sauce, etc) and not worry about running out for a while.

Now BJ’s is offering recipes (like this one!) using trusted brands you can find in store through their BJ’s Cooking Club site. They even offered some great ideas on using up Thanksgiving leftovers. Wondering if there is a BJ’s near you? BJ’s Wholesale Club has over 200 locations in 15 states (CT, DE, FL, GA, MA, MD, ME, NC, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, RI, VA).

  1. I love the sound of that flavor combo: apples, brussels sprouts and bacon. Yum-o!

  2. This is one amazing recipe. So creative and healthy. I love everything about it. Pinned.

  3. Yum, this sounds fab. I just moved away from Massachusetts and we were BJ’s members. Love it!

  4. Would it be wrong to eat the whole plate? I love this!

  5. I could happily eat brussels sprouts plain BUT the addition apples takes it to a whole new level of deliciousness!

  6. I had been looking for a good recipe to try brussels sprouts in because I had never really tried them! I’m glad you posted this, Emily! It was delicious and made a great side dish.. we have plenty of entrees in our lives, but always need more side dish ideas!

  7. Can you make this ahead of time and reheat?
