1 . Stage

In a large pot with a lid, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until they begin to brown at the edges, about 6 minutes.

2 . Stage

Add cabbage, apple (if using), wine, water, vinegar, sugar, salt, caraway seeds (if using), and pepper. Stir to combine, and bring up to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover.
