Directions:
1) In a large pan over medium heat, cook the bacon in the oil, stirring occasionally until the bacon is crisp and brown (about 5 minutes)

2) Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally until golden (about 5 minutes)

3) In 3-4 additions, stir in the cabbage, sprinkling each addition with a tbs. or so of the vinegar

4) Stir in the apples, water, maple syrup, salt, and pepper

5) Reduce heat to medium-low and cover tightly

6) Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is very tender (about 1 hour). If the liquid cooks away, add a couple of tbs. of water
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I have used honey in place of the syrup, and ham in place of the bacon. Also, I have turned the heat up and added more vinegar and water to help it cook faster when I need this to take less than an hour to make. If I need more liquid, I usually add some more water, and a little more vinegar to help balance the flavor.
