Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head of green cabbage (about 2 lbs / 900g), cored and thinly sliced
  • 2 medium apples (such as Braeburn or Gala), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (30ml)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (15ml)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (5ml)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (2.5ml)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (1.25ml)
  • 4 oz (115g) mature cheddar cheese, grated

Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften and wilt, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Stir in apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender-crisp.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large baking dish, alternate layers of cabbage and apple slices.
  5. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top layer of apples.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the apples are tender. A skewer inserted into the apples should meet little resistance.
  7. Let the bake rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
