This recipe transforms ordinary cabbage into something extraordinary by pairing it with sweet-tart apples and a creamy poppy seed dressing. Traditional coleslaw can feel flat, but adding apples brings natural sweetness and layered flavor. The dish works year-round but feels particularly suited to fall gatherings and summer picnics alike.
