1 head green cabbage (about 1 pound), cut into thin shreds
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large onion, cut into slivers
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of ground allspice
3 red apples
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon caraway seeds

Steps:

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Blanch cabbage until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Heat butter in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add cabbage, cider vinegar, apple cider, honey, salt, pepper, cloves, and allspice. Toss to coat. Cover, and simmer until very tender, about 40 minutes. While cabbage is cooking, core apples; cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Toss with lemon juice; set aside.
Add apples and caraway seeds to pan; cook, uncovered, until apples begin to brown slightly, and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Serve.
