Brussels Sprouts Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing

I made this for dinner a couple of nights ago and I loved it! 

2 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts
1 large red apple, I used Honeycrisp
5 smoked bacon slices, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar

Remove and discard stem ends from Brussels sprouts; peel leaves, and place in a large bowl.  Add apple slices.
Cook bacon until crisp and break into 1/2 inch pieces.  Reserve drippings from bacon.  Add bacon pieces to Brussels sprouts mixture.
Add vinegar to drippings and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to loosen browned bits from bottom of skillet.  Boil one minute or until reduced to about 1/3 cup.
Stir in mustard and 4 ingredients.  Add oil in a slow steady stream, stirring occasionally until blended.  Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and sugar.  Pour hot dressing over Brussels sprouts and toss.  Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
