Ingredients

• 1 medium head red cabbage
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
• 1 large, peeled and grated green apple
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground allspice
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage, cut it into quarters, and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the grated apple, and cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

Step 5

Add the sliced red cabbage to the pot and stir to coat with the butter, onion, and apple mixture.

Step 6

Sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper over the cabbage. Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Step 7

Pour in the apple cider vinegar and water. Stir thoroughly, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 50-60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add a splash of water if needed to keep the mixture moist.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish to roasted meats, sausage, or a festive meal.
