Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or a silpat mat.
Arrange bacon in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, until cooked through, but not yet crispy.
Remove bacon pieces from the baking sheet; set aside. Place the Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet; toss in the bacon drippings, making sure that they're well coasted; season well with salt and pepper. Roast until they begin to brown, about 15 minutes.
Add the apple slices and bacon to the Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet; roast until the Brussels sprouts are tender and browned and the apple slices have softened a bit, about another 10-15 minutes.
Toss everything with the vinegar.
Serve immediately.
