  • Stir in lime juice and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine julienned apples, cabbage, cider vinegar, and honey.

Notes

For the best flavor, allow the pork to marinate with its seasonings for a few hours or overnight before cooking. Make sure to slice the apples just before serving to keep them fresh and crisp in the slaw. Adjust the spice level of the dish by varying the amount of chili powder according to your preference.
