Equipment
- Large Dutch oven
- Chef's knife
- Cutting board
- Measuring cups
- Wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 1 Medium Red Cabbage
- 1 Large Green Apple
- 1 Small Yellow Onion
- 4 Tbsp Butter
- 1/2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Slice the red cabbage into very thin strips. Remove the tough core from the middle first. This ensures every bite is very tender.
- Peel and dice the green apple into small bits. Chop the yellow onion into small pieces as well. Keep these items ready on your cutting board.
- Melt the butter in your large Dutch oven. Use medium heat so the butter does not burn. Wait until it starts to bubble slightly.
- Add the sliced onions to the hot melted butter. Sauté them until they look soft and clear. This should take about five minutes of cooking.
- Toss in the cabbage and the diced apple pieces. Stir them well to coat them in the butter. The pot will look very full at first.
- Pour in the vinegar and add the brown sugar. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper now. Stir everything together until it is well combined.
- Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Turn the heat down to a low setting. Let it simmer slowly for about forty minutes.
- Remove the lid and stir the cabbage one last time. The liquid should be mostly gone by now. Serve it warm while it is fresh and tasty.
Notes
- Slice the cabbage very thin for the best texture.
- Use a Granny Smith apple for the best tartness.
- Keep the heat low so the sugar does not burn.
- Stir the pot occasionally to prevent any sticking.
- Add a splash of water if it looks too dry.
