Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium, about 2 pounds) Green cabbage
- 2 (medium, preferably tart like Granny Smith) Apples
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds (optional)
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Core the cabbage and slice it into thin strips. Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pan and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it starts to soften.
Stir in the apple slices and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until they begin to soften as well.
Add the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and caraway seeds (if using) to the pan. Mix well to coat the cabbage and apples in the seasonings.
Pour in the water, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pan with a lid. Let the mixture simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage and apples are tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm as a side dish with roasted meats, sausages, or your favorite entree.
