Instructions
Step 1
Heat oven to 350°. Place guanciale on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar; bake until crisp, 6–8 minutes. Bring a 4-qt saucepan of water to a boil. Peel and reserve outer leaves from sprouts, leaving the tender core. Using a mandoline, thinly slice cores; place in a bowl. Cook outer leaves for 1 minute; drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Drain and pat leaves dry using paper towels; add to bowl with cores. In another bowl, whisk half & half, vinegar, mustard, granulated sugar, and salt; pour over sprouts. Stir in half each of the walnuts, celery, and apple, salt, and pepper; transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with remaining walnuts, celery, and apple; crumble reserved guanciale over the top.
