Method
- Finely shred red cabbage, chop onion and dice the apples.
- Soften the onion in a pot with a few tablespoons of water for about 4 minutes, then add cabbage and apples.
- Add apple cider vinegar, about 100 ml water and sugar. Cover and simmer for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of water if necessary.
- When tender, uncover and reduce excess liquid briefly. Taste and balance the sweet-sour flavour.
- Before serving, check: Fold wet and dry ingredients together only until combined. Overmixing can make cakes or muffins dense.
Beginner-friendly tips
Read these three practical tips before cooking. Check how the food looks and feels, not just the clock.
- Preheat the oven before mixing and prepare the tin first so the batter does not sit waiting.
- Fold wet and dry ingredients together only until combined. Overmixing can make cakes or muffins dense.
- Baking times vary: a skewer inserted into the centre should come out without wet batter. Bake a few more minutes if needed and cool before slicing.
Tip
Adjust seasonings to taste and check ingredients are fully cooked before serving.
