With cooler weather coming on, a pot of braised red cabbage and apples is a delicious addition to any fall table.

COST PER SERVING: around 25 cents

Ingredients

• 1 head red cabbage, quartered, cored, and finely shredded with a knife
• 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 3/4 cup boiling water
• 3 tablespoons neutral (canola, vegetable, etc.) oil
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)

Method

Step 1

Put cabbage and apples in a large covered pot over medium heat. Add boiling water, cover, and cook 10 minutes, until cabbage is slightly softened.

Step 2

Combine remaining ingredients and add to cabbage. Cook uncovered for 20 minutes (or pretty much as long as you want, but 20 minutes should be good).
