Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Cook the bacon halves in a large skillet over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning, until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain, leaving the fat in the pan.

2. Add the chopped onions to the bacon fat and cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring, until soft and lightly golden.

3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and boil for 5 to 6 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain well.

4. In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar and sugar. Heat over medium-low, stirring, for about 3 minutes until the sugar dissolves.

5. Add the drained green beans to the skillet with the onions and toss over medium heat for 3 minutes to warm through.

6. Pour the vinegar and sugar mixture over the beans and toss for 2 minutes until coated.

7. Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, shaking often, until golden. Watch closely so they do not burn.

8. Crumble the bacon and fold it into the beans. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds, let rest at room temperature for 60 minutes to absorb the flavors, then serve.
