Skillet Cabbage and Apples

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and provides a similar cooking function.

Remove large outer leaves from the cabbage if it's freshly picked, or remove discolored leaves if it's store-bought.

Cut the cabbage in half through the core with a large knife, then quarter it to make the core easier to cut out.

Slice the cabbage into about half-inch thick slices, aiming for 3 cups of cut cabbage.

Cut the onion as desired for the recipe.

Turn on the heat to medium and measure 2 tablespoons of water into a large skillet.

Add the cabbage and onion to the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

While the cabbage cooks, cut the apples in half, then quarter them to remove the core, and slice into quarter-inch pieces.

After 10 minutes, add the diced apples and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, stirring to mix well with the cabbage and apples.

Cook for an additional 3 minutes until the apples are soft but not mushy, stirring occasionally.

Check the softness of the apples after 3 minutes and serve warm.
