- 2 onions
- 4 apples
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 4 tbsp vinegar
- 500 ml apple juice
- 1 bay leave

Instructions
Prepare the cabbage
- Wash and remove the outer leaves. Cut into quarters and grate. For grating, I recommend using a food processor. It saves a lot of time!
- Wash the apples, tap them dry, peel and remove not edible parts. Cut them into cubes.
- Peel and chop the onions.
Cook the cabbage
- Take the pressure cooker (or any large pot that you will be using) and melt the clarified butter or lard in it. Add the onions and apples and fry until the onions are translucent.
- Add grated red cabbage and fry for another minute.
- Pour the apple juice all over the cabbage. Add the vinegar and the spices (bay leaf, cloves, cinnamon stick).
- Cook for 20 minutes under pressure or for 40 minutes with a lid on.
- Season with sugar and salt!
