Sweet-and-Sour Red Cabbage with Apples balances tangy vinegar with brown sugar and warm spices for a gently braised side that’s both bright and comforting. Tender shreds of cabbage mingle with soft apples, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves, creating a vibrant, sweet-tart bite that pairs well with roasted meats. Serve it for dinner on cool evenings or alongside holiday mains.

1

Pour the water into a large saucepan and set it over high heat. Add the cabbage, apples, vinegar, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves, and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer, stirring now and then, until the cabbage is tender, about 45 minutes.
