Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onions.
- Core, peel, and thinly slice the apples.
- Thinly slice the cabbage.
- In a large skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the chopped onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, a dash of black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine and let the spices become fragrant, cooking for another minute.
- Add the thinly sliced apples to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Gradually add the thinly sliced cabbage to the skillet, stirring well to incorporate it with the onions and apples.
- Pour in the vinegar and sprinkle the brown sugar over the cabbage mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for about 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cabbage should become tender, and the flavors should meld together.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or black pepper if desired.
- Once the cabbage and apples are tender and flavorful, remove from heat. Serve warm as a side dish, or as a main dish with some crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for even cooking and to prevent burning.
- Finely slice the cabbage and apples for uniform cooking and better texture.
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar and vinegar to taste for your preferred balance of sweetness and acidity.
- Add a bay leaf or a few caraway seeds for an extra dimension of flavor.
- For a heartier version, consider adding some sliced sausages or cooked bacon.
