Ingredients
- 1 medium head red cabbage

- 1 medium, thinly sliced onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Thinly slice the red cabbage and set it aside.
Step 2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the sliced onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the apple slices and cook for another 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 5
Add the sliced red cabbage to the pot and mix well to combine.
Step 6
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and water, and sprinkle the brown sugar over the mixture. Stir well.
Step 7
Season with salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly.
Step 8
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30-35 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you prefer a sweeter dish, add an additional tablespoon of brown sugar.
Step 10
Once the red cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded together, remove the pot from heat.
Step 11
Allow the mixture to cool completely if you plan to freeze it. Portion into freezer-safe containers or bags and label them.
Step 12
To serve, reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through.
