This zesty stewed red cabbage with apples will upstage any side. A little different from a side of grilled asparagusroasted brussel sprouts with shallots or roasted maple ginger carrots. What I love about this vegan side is, you can prepare it a day or two in advance, and it will taste even better.

This is why making sides well in advance will save you time and bring your stress level down at your busiest time. This tasty veggie side is one of those dishes you can have ready when needed.

How Do You Make Best Stewed Red Cabbage With Apples?

Typically the classic cabbage side is made with oil, seasoned with salt, pepper and a splash of vinegar. This recipe is a little different. It is made with onions, apples, caraway seeds, healthy apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and a hint of nutmeg. The red cabbage is sooo good! And the recipe is super easy to make.

Stewed red cabbage is a popular Eastern European dish. It is often served with stuffed pork tenderloin, a schnitzel, or simple roasted chicken with lemon potatoes. However, in this recipe, the apples make this side dish especially tasty. Because apples add natural sweetness, complimenting the red cabbage.

Next time the holidays roll around, or you have a barbecue for friends, or making chicken a l’orange, try this stewed red cabbage with apples side. In our home, this healthy and refreshing cabbage side is always a big hit with everyone. Enjoy!

We very much enjoyed this recipe. The apples add an excellent texture and taste contrast to the cabbage & onions. I didn't have caraway so used ground cumin, and it was still good. I checked and cabbage can be frozen, which means that this will be good for our GF-low-histamine diet. Is there a way to print this - including a photo - so we can add it to our favorite recipes binder?
