Step by Step Method

Step 1

Onions and Apples ... Add the butter to a large heavy saute pan and bring to medium heat; then, add the onion and apples and saute until slightly tender, 4-5 minutes.

Step 2

Cabbage ... Then, add all the other ingredients to the onions and apples and mix to combine. Once everything has heated through, reduce the heat to low and simmer 1 hour covered until tender - stirring occasionally. The last 10 minutes, remove the lid to let the liquid reduce. At this point, check for any additional seasoning, and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
