I know the title sounds a little pretentious, but these seriously are amazing. I've had many self-proclaimed Brussels sprout haters do a complete u-turn with this recipe. The best part is that it is so quick and just uses the microwave, so for big dinners where the oven is in use, this makes a great side!

Steps:
- Clean and halve the Brussels sprouts. Put them in a microwave safe dish and add a tablespoon or so of water. Cover and microwave on high for about five minutes. They should NOT be fully cooked.

- Mix the butter, sugar and nutmeg.
- Add the apples to the sprouts and cover with butter mixture. Return to microwave and microwave for 4-5 minutes until sprouts are cooked.
- Cooking time will vary depending on your microwave.
- Serve immediately. Great as leftovers too!
Tips
- Choose the right Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, deep green sprouts with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and halve the sprouts lengthwise. This will help them cook evenly.
- Season generously: Brussels sprouts love salt and pepper. Season them well before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting or sautéing Brussels sprouts, make sure to give them enough space so they can brown evenly. Otherwise, they will steam instead of roast.
- Roast at high heat: Roasting Brussels sprouts at high heat will help them caramelize and develop a delicious crispy exterior.
- Don't overcook: Brussels sprouts are best when they are cooked just until tender. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Add some crunch: If you like, you can add some crunch to your Brussels sprouts by adding chopped nuts, seeds, or breadcrumbs.
