Step 1Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F or gas mark 3). Peel and finely chop the onion and apple. Finely shred the cabbage. Heat a large oven proof saucepan or casserole dish. Sauté the onion in the oil until slightly golden. Stir in the red cabbage and diced apple. Remove from the heat. Combine the lemon juice, brown sugar, vinegar, water, spices and salt and pepper and pour over the cabbage mixture. Toss to combine and cover. Place in the oven the slowly cook for 2 hours.
