INGREDIENTS

4 slices bacon, thinly sliced
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 large or 2 small heads red cabbage (about 3 pounds), cored and thinly sliced
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and cut into bite size pieces
2 to 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
 
DIRECTIONS

  1. Cook the bacon until crisp, over medium heat in a large Dutch, that has a lid, about 4 minutes. 
  2. Add the onions, cinnamon, bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, about 8 minutes.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the cabbage and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 8 minutes. 
  4. Add the apple, broth, vinegar, sugar, the remaining salt, and pepper, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, about 1 hour.
  5. Uncover; bring to a boil, and cook, stirring, until the liquid has reduced to a sauce-like consistency, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve.
