Ingredients:

2 tbsp vegetable oil
27g
1.50 cups onion
170g
1/4 tsp cinnamon
0.65g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1 cup apple
110g
4 cups cabbage
360g
1/4 cup vinegar
60g
2 tbsp brown sugar
18g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onions.
- Core, peel, and thinly slice the apples.
- Thinly slice the cabbage.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
3. Cook the Onions:
- Add the chopped onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Seasonings:
- 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.
5. Add Apples:
- Add the thinly sliced apples to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
6. Add Cabbage:
- Gradually add the thinly sliced cabbage to the skillet, stirring well to incorporate it with the onions and apples.
7. Mix in Vinegar and Sugar:
- Pour in the vinegar and sprinkle the brown sugar over the cabbage mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
8. Simmer:
- 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.
9. Adjust Seasonings:
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or black pepper if desired.
10. Serve:
- 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.
