Peel and shred an apple using a Japanese mandolin or box shredder.

Heat a high rim sauté pan over medium heat without preheating it.

Add olive oil to the cold pan, then add the sliced onions.

Cook the onions until they start to sizzle and soften, avoiding browning them.

Once the onions are translucent, add the shredded apple and sliced cabbage to the pan, packing it tightly.

Mix the cabbage and onions slightly to combine.

Add chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, apple juice, honey, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of allspice to the pan.

Stir the mixture to combine the ingredients, ensuring the honey and seasonings are well mixed.
