Sauerkraut with ApplesRoland Bello

Store-bought sauerkraut undergoes an amazing transformation when gently simmered with apples and white wine. The cabbage's crispness gives way to a seductive silkiness, while the fruit and a spoonful or two of brown sugar offset its acidity.

Cooks' note:

Sauerkraut with apples can be made 3 days ahead and chilled. Reheat before serving.
