How to Make Red Cabbage With Apples And Spices Crock Pot

  1. Peel and chop 1 large red cabbage (about 1.5 lbs) into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Core and chop 2 medium apples (about 1 lb total), such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped red cabbage and apples with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp ground coriander, ½ tsp ground nutmeg, ¼ tsp dried lavender (optional), 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper.
  4. **Crockpot Method:** Transfer the mixture to a large crockpot. Add 1 cup of red wine or apple cider (optional). Cook on low for 5 hours, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking.
  5. **Stovetop Method:** In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) in 2 tbsp butter until softened. Add the cabbage-apple mixture and cook over medium-low heat, covered, for 1-1.5 hours, or until the cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of water or broth if needed. Alternatively, you can bake, covered, at 350°F (175°C) for 1-1.5 hours.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
