Cabbage with Apple and Onion (Paleo, Whole30)

Cabbage with Apple & Onion is perfect for whipping together on a busy night, and it easily doubles to feed a larger crowd.

This one comes together in less than 10 minutes and is a good way to use up cabbage that’s sort of wilted or apples that have gotten a bit soft. It was the perfect accompaniment to some delicious pan-fried pork chops.

All you have to do is lightly cook the apples and onions together, then add the cabbage. At the end, I hit it with a dash of balsamic vinegar for a little tang to balance out the sweetness.

Cabbage with Apple & Onion isn’t a new recipe—it’s been here on the blog for two years—but it’s one that I’ve recently updated with brand-new, much more appetizing photography. We eat with our eyes first, right?
