Step 1
Start by melting the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s melted, add the chopped onion and apple, and cook them together until the onion looks translucent and the apple is nice and soft—this usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Next, pour in the wine along with the apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Give everything a good stir and bring the mixture up to a boil. Then, add the shredded cabbage, stirring to make sure it’s well coated with the flavorful sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, lower the heat, and let it simmer gently. Keep it cooking until the cabbage is tender, which should take around 30 minutes. Once it’s soft and the flavors have melded together, it’s ready to serve.
