Pierogies with Cabbage and Apples

Ingredients:

2 T. olive oil

1 med. onion, sliced

1 10 oz. bag of shredded cabbage

1 c. apple juice or cider

¼ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. pepper

1 Granny Smith apple, cored and cut into chunks

1 16 oz. pkg. frozen pierogies (whatever type you prefer but I like the ones with cheddar cheese in them)

Directions:  In a skillet, heat 1 T. olive oil over medium.  Add onion and cook for about 5 minutes until golden and softened, stirring often.  Increase heat to medium-high and add cabbage, cider/juice, salt, and pepper.  Cover and cook for about 5 minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt.  Stir in the apple.  Cover again and cook for another 5 minutes or so until the cabbage is tender.  In a second covered nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 T. of oil with ½ cup water over medium heat until simmering.  Add the pierogies, cover and cook for 5 minutes.  Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 10-12 minutes until pierogies are cooked through and lightly golden on each side.  Serve pierogies over the cabbage mixture.   Makes 4 servings
