Easy to make and tastes great -- especially if left in the refrigerator overnight. I also missed out the salt and pepper and next time, I'll leave out the sugar as the apple sweetens it perfectly.

I really enjoyed this dish. The only change I made was I didn't add any sugar, salt or pepper, and I only cooked it for about 1 hour so the cabbage was still a bit crunchy. I served it with rice for a nice meal on a cold winter day.
