Ingredients for Apple Cinnamon Coleslaw

  • Vanilla Yogurt
  • Frozen Apple Juice Concentrate
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage

How to Make Apple Cinnamon Coleslaw

  1. Whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, thinly sliced apples, and chopped pecans (if using).
  3. Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and gently toss until evenly coated.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving. The coleslaw tastes even better the next day!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
