Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove the cooked bacon from the pot and set aside.
2
Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3
Add the chopped red cabbage to the pot and cook until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced apples, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
4
Add the cooked bacon back into the pot and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer the mixture for 20-25 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the apples are cooked through.
