This Cabbage with Apple & Onion side dish is perfect for whipping together on a busy night, and it easily doubles to feed a larger crowd.
This one comes together in less than 10 minutes and is a good way to use up cabbage that’s sort of wilted or apples that have gotten a bit soft. It was the perfect accompaniment to some delicious pan-fried pork chops.
Cabbage with Apple & Onion isn’t a new recipe—it’s been here on the blog for two years—but it’s one that I’ve recently updated with brand-new, much more appetizing photography. We eat with our eyes first, right?

What’s your favorite way to prepare cabbage as a side dish?
This looks great! Looking forward to trying it, thanks…Frank
Let me know how it comes out
This was so delicious, thanks so much! Frank
Just had this for supper. Super easy to fix and Delicious.
Thank you very much.
Just stumbled upon this recipe, and it looks great. Do you suggest red or green apples?
I always do it with red because they’re a bit sweeter
Have you ever had this raw like coleslaw? Maybe a few walnuts mixed in.
I haven’t had this particular one raw like slaw but I have a few slaws that are similar. Would be really tasty I think but maybe with less onion and making the onion very thinly sliced.
This is my 3rd week of paleo food, for the first time I genuinely didn’t miss potatoes

Turned out well! Thanks for the recipe. Simple way to get some cabbage in my diet!
So happy to hear that you liked it, Alex!
Just finished up a big plate very yummy! And helped me use up my apples and cabbage from the fall harvest. Thanks for sharing. <3
Perfect timing. Just trying to figure out a side dish for dinner tonight. I’ll be making this!!!
I’ve used a similar recipe for years now. The only exception is I usually will add some type of sausage (ground or link….italian or plain). It becomes a meal instead of a side. It is great tasting so anyone wanting to make it a main meal just add your favorite meat! 😀
Thank you for sharing this wonderful dish!
I just prepared it and enjoyed this combination.
