Slice the red cabbage thinly, removing the core.

Peel and core the apples, then thinly slice them, not too thin.

Combine the sliced cabbage and apples in a bowl and stir them together.

Add about 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the mixture.

Drizzle in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.

Sprinkle in some salt and black pepper to taste.

Add about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the mixture.

Incorporate about 1 teaspoon of mixed spice (or pumpkin spice, or a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg).

Mix everything together well, using gloves if preferred.

Prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Spread the cabbage and apple mixture onto the tray, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

Bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.

After 25 minutes, check the mixture; if it looks good, turn it over.

If needed, return it to the oven for another 15 minutes.

Crush walnuts by hand and sprinkle them over the mixture about 5-6 minutes before the end of cooking to warm them through.

Stir the mixture again before serving hot.
