Sweet And Sour Cabbage With Apples - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1 large onion, sliced
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
2/3 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 tablespoons sugar (use white or brown sugar, or to taste)
salt and black pepper
1 head green cabbage, cut into about 1/2-inch strips
2 small apples, peeled, cored and cut into thin slices (you can use only one apple if desired)
1/2 cup apple juice

Preparation

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat.
Add in onions; saute for about 8-10 minutes, adding the fresh garlic the last few minutes.
Add in the red wine vinegar, applesauce, brown sugar and cabbage; cook for about 7-8 minutes, or until the cabbage starts to wilt, stirring often.
Season with salt and pepper, cover and simmer until the cabbage is tender (about 20-25 minutes) stirring occasionally.
Uncover and add in the sliced apple and apple juice; cook for another 5-6 minutes or until the apples are crisp-tender.
Season with more salt and pepper if desired.
