Ingredients

Execution Steps

  1. 1

    Layer the shredded cabbage, chopped apples, and sliced onions inside the slow cooker.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk red wine vinegar and brown sugar together, then pour over the cabbage.

  3. 3

    Dot the top of the cabbage with butter.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours until the cabbage is deeply caramelized and sweet.

Slow heat allows the natural sugars in the apples and cabbage to caramelize slowly. We added red wine vinegar to prevent the mixture from becoming overly cloying. It is a sweet-savory balance optimized for winter biological systems.
