Followed recipe exactly except subbed two smaller Pink Lady apples for 1 Granny Smith and increased the caraway seeds to 1.5 tbs. Loved by children and adults alike. I am sad so much was gobbled up so fast! But very easy to make, mostly hands off, so I'll make it again (and I almost never cook anything twice). A most satisfying vegetable dish.
I had my doubts about this recipe, because during step 2 the cabbage and onion on the bottom of the pot got a bit burned. I was cooking on an electric range in a high-altitude cabin, and those electric burners often just get way too hot on medium heat, so next time I make it, I would probably add a half cup of stock or wine in that step. That said, it turned out really delicious! Increase step 3 braising time if you're up on a high mountain!
This tastes exactly like my Czech family's recipe in Moravia, except use white vinegar instead of apple.
