This recipe is traditionally made with purple cabbage. My mom used to make it for the Holidays. I use the recipe from Kako's blog "En Guete!". When I have guests, I do it with purple cabbage, but for every day, I use regular cabbage, which is much cheaper, and the taste is the same. Cabbage with Apples is served widely in southern Chile with pork.
