- Prepare ingredients
Slice cabbage into thin strips, julienne carrots, dice onion, and core and slice apple into thin wedges. Ensure uniform sizes for even cooking.
- Cook noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Don't overcook as they'll continue cooking when combined with vegetables.

Add apple slices to the vegetable mixture. This adds natural sweetness and texture. Continue cooking until apples are tender but still hold their shape.
