Sauteed Cabbage and Apples

  We are all trying to eat better (more healthy) and this recipe from Cooking Light January 2014 caught my eye. Easy to fix, and everyone here likes cabbage with caraway seed. 

 They suggested you could use your food processor to slice the cabbage, but I have always found that a sharp knife works just fine and less work to clean. Leave the peel on the apples and slice thin. I had a yellow Delicious so used it, but a red apple would look attractive. 

 This was great tasting, very easy, and quickly done. In the time allotted the apples were soft, the cabbage crisp tender and the ten minutes cooking time is just right.

 The article offered three other variations of which I am going to try at least one more.
