Gluten Free Brussels Sprouts and Mushrooms in an Apple Cider Reduction

I enjoy cooking in season, but as it cools down here in New York that becomes more and more difficult which makes you get a bit creative. One great fall ingredient is Apples. Apple Cider is just one of those things to me that just screams Fall. It’s the perfect amount of sweetness, and is so versatile. I wanted to use it in a different way recently, which is how this recipe came about. It pairs Apples with another in season ingredient here, Brussels Sprouts. Enjoy!
