Kale with bacon and apples

Very similar to bacon brussel sprouts that seem to be common at restaurants and holidays. 

Ingredients

• 3 thick-cut peppered bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 medium chopped Honeycrisp apple

• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

2. Add apple and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and gradually add kale. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drizzle with vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
