Here is a delicious recipe that utilizes cabbage, apples and onions...which is great if you plant a garden and want to use up some of your harvest. We like to hit the local Farmer's market in the Fall and buy up their clearance cabbage and apples and make it for the family.

If you don't want to make this on the stove top, you can certainly toss everything together in a slow cooker and simmer on the low setting for several hours.

Apples and Red Cabbage Recipe

1 large red cabbage
2 large tart apples, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. granulated sugar
