This truly is a dish that screams fall, even in the late summer :-) I served this with two beautiful pork steaks, and whole peeled potatoes, boiled with turmeric, parsley and butter. This time I used Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale “ trying to get into a fall kind of mood “ but you can use any kind you like. If you don’t want to use beer you can use water, chicken broth or vegetable broth. I am sorry I don’t have any pictures to go along with this dish, but I was juggling making this dish, plus another one to freeze, and trying to get some “ domestic goddess” stuff done as well.

  • Step 4
    Sauté the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg, caraway seeds & sugar in the butter plus 3 tablespoons of the beer, apple sauce mixture, till the onions are soft and translucent. Add the onion mixture to the remaining beer apple sauce mixture, mix well and set aside.
  • Step 5
    Spray a casserole dish with a non stick spray.
  • Step 6
    Layer in the following order. First put some of the cabbage and apples in the pan. Cover with ½ of the beer mixture, then cabbage & apples, cover with the rest of the beer mixture.
  • Step 7
    Then cover with the remaining apple sauce.
  • Step 8
    Pour the ½ of the 12 ounce can or bottle of 7 UP down the side of the cabbage dish.
  • Step 9
    Cover with foil and bake 350 for 1 & ½ hours, or till the cabbage is tender and the top is all bubbly and brown.
  • Step 10
    The baking time will depend on your oven, and how big you slice the cabbage.
