For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use olive oil instead of butter. Adjust the amount of sugar and apple cider vinegar to suit your taste preferences. Some apples are sweeter than others, so you may need less sugar. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavors will meld together even more beautifully as it sits. Serve hot or cold, as a side dish to roasted meats, poultry, or sausages.
