The fruity and savory mix softens in a knob of butter before ribbons of cabbage are added to the pot. A touch of cider vinegar deepens the apple flavor, while sugar brings a subtle sweetness to the meltingly tender cabbage. Just a quick 25-minute simmer and this fragrant, vibrant dish is table-ready. Ingredients 1 tablespoon butter 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced 1 Gala or Fuji apple, halved, cored, and sliced 1 head red cabbage (2 pounds), cored, quartered, and thinly sliced Coarse salt and ground pepper 3 tablespoons cider vinegar 4 teaspoons sugar ½ cup water Directions In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, melt butter over medium. Add onion and apple; cook, stirring, until onion softens, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in red cabbage and season with salt and pepper. Add vinegar, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until cabbage is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Print
