Ingredients

• 1 medium head (about 2 lbs) green cabbage
• 2 medium apple (preferably a crisp variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it into quarters. Slice out the core from each quarter, then thinly slice the cabbage into shreds.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.

Step 4

Add the sliced onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and toss to combine with the onions and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage begins to soften and lightly brown in spots.

Step 7

Add the sliced apples to the skillet, along with the salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to evenly coat the ingredients with the seasonings.

Step 8

Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the cabbage is cooked through but still slightly crisp.

Step 9

Drizzle the apple cider vinegar over the mixture and toss to combine. Cook for 1 more minute to let the flavors meld.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed cabbage and apples to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
