Awesome! Kale has never tasted soooo good!
Beverly Adams
Followed the recipe but did not like this dish
Kimberly Robertson
Followed another reviewers advice and added the sausage. Also only had one delicious apple so substituted a small zucchini and some oven roasted sweet potato. All the flavours work well together. Thanks for the great recipe and the helpful reviews. I would make this again, hopefully with more apple.
Debra Chapman
This recipe is really easy and doesn’t take much time. I added some craisins for some extra sweetness. As a side with wild caught salmon will be great!
Michele Williams
I wasn’t a huge fan. If you like Vinegar based food (like salt & vinegar chips), you’ll probably appreciate this recipe a lot more than I did.

I massaged the kale with a bit of olive oil and salt before cooking to make it tender. I also added about a half cup of chicken stock and steamed for about 10 minutes at the end. Was amazing with pork chops and cinnamon applesauce. Yum!

Kale doesn’t have much flavor so I used some bacon grease insta of oil, then put a few bacon bits on top when served! Great side dish!
Mary Richard
I also added clove, allspice, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon.
Claudia Tucker
So good! I will definitely be making this again. I only added some chicken for protein and it was a full meal.
Colleen Banks
Great quick side. I peeled the apples and added a grated clove of garlic and a few tbsp’ s of butter. Added 1/2 cup or so of water to steam when i added the kale. Will make again & again.

This was just ok… I only had a Gala apple, and baby kale, so the cooking times were just right. The apple flavor didn’t really come through and I found the big onion slices annoying. So if I did it again I’d dice the onions and try a red delicious to see if it’s better.
Kelly Alvarado
Very good. Made as written but need to add a little more salt and apple cider vinegar.
Robert Weaver
I absolutely loved this recipe. The only change I made was to use honey crisp apples rather than red delicious. I will be making this over and over again.
Amanda Brown
This was very good but I would change the directions to sauté the onions and kale for 10 minutes then add 1/2 cup water and steam for 20 minutes to tenderize kale. Then add the apples and spices and cook for another 10 min. The apples come out still a bit crisp and sweet. That’s the way I did it and kale was good. Also I doubled recipe but next time I will double kale only as it seemed there was a lot of apple. Thanks for recipe.
Austin Torres
Yummy! Will definitely make it again.
Alan Sanchez
Loved it…easy to make and healthy. I did add a touch of honey for additional flavor. Will definitely make again and again.
Jon Waller
I had such hopes for this, but was very disappointed with the finished product. I did add chicken and apple sausage to it and to be honest — that was our favorite part. I think it was the taste of the vinegar that we didn’t like and it really needed more salt. Won’t be making it again.
Brent Moore
I used a 10 ounce bag of Kale and increased the olive oil, salt, pepper and vinegar. Quick and easy! Will make again!
Kristy Berry
Yum. This was super easy, healthy and tasted great. I added some nuts for extra protein at the end.
Amanda Mclean
Mixed vote in our house. My husband thought it was too sweet; my daughter didn’t like the ‘mushy’ (her word) apples, and I loved it. I used baby kale in mine, and everyone was a fan of the greens. I think I may tweak the recipe and try again!
Derek White
Being a vegetarian and a fan of kale, I’m always looking for new meatless recipes to try. This was so good, I ate it as my main course for dinner.
