To get started, chop the cabbage into coarse pieces, dice the onion, and peel and chop two apples. You can prep the cabbage and onion ahead of time, but make sure to leave the apples whole until ready to cook to prevent them from going brown or drying up. Tip: I used sweeter Gala apples for this recipe, but Granny Smith apples can be used for a sharper flavor. Place all ingredients into a greased crockpot and season with salt and pepper.

In a separate bowl, make the sauce by whisking together apple juice, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and a bit of tapioca flour to thicken. Stir until well combined, then pour over the apple and cabbage mixture. Secure the lid and let it cook on low for six to eight hours.

Serve your crockpot cabbage and apples hot with your favorite meat entree. You can also keep it refrigerated for up to five days and reheat when ready to enjoy!
