Roasted Apple, Sausage & Brussels Sprouts

By rachelvanduzerNovember 5, 2020November 6, 2020 Apples, Main-Dishes

Brussels Sprouts are one of those vegetables I discovered I actually really like at some point as an adult.

You might think I’m crazy, but apples are my favorite fruit. Don’t get me wrong, I love peaches, strawberries, raspberries, watermelon, plums, oranges, and, well, almost all fruit (it’s a very long list.) But I love apples the most for a few reasons.
