How to Make Cabbage That Tastes Like Dessert

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
Thinly slice 1 medium head of green cabbage (about 3 cups) and place it evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Core and thinly slice 2 medium apples (about 2 cups) and arrange them in a layer on top of the cabbage.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of Splenda/sugar (adjust to taste) and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the apples and cabbage.
In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apple and cabbage layers.
Bake covered for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cabbage is tender.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
