Cabbage and Apple from Germany

This cabbage dish is an alternative to sauerkraut.  Many people have apple sauce with their roast pork.  This combines the apple and cabbage with an added sweet and sour flavour.  Very quick and easy to make, this is a winner!

2 tablespoons oil
1 small cabbage shredded
1 onion finely sliced
1 garlic clove finely shopped
2 apples peeled, cored and sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons water
Put the oil in a pot and add the onion, garlic, cabbage and apple.  Saute until the cabbage begins to wilt.  Add the water, salt and pepper and simmer for about 3 minutes.  Add the sugar and vinegar and simmer for about another 5 minutes.  This is a great accompaniment to roast or grilled pork.
