This gets an A plus rating from me, a really lovely dish. The flavors were top notch. I sliced the apple very thin and used walnuts in place of pistachios. One thing, roasting time for the Brussels sprouts took considerably longer that 15 minutes for me. But I just let them go until done (at least 30 min, maybe longer). Otherwise I wouldn't change a thing. -
