They are served with a quick, glossy sauce made from apple juice, cornstarch, and beef bouillon, adding a rich, savory-sweet finish. This dish is tender, flavorful, and easy to prepare, bringing a hearty, home-style warmth to your table without the long simmering time of classic golabki.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove the tough center vein from each cabbage leaf, keeping the leaf intact.
  2. Place the cabbage leaves in a shallow microwave-safe baking dish.
  3. Cover the dish with vented clear plastic wrap.
  4. Microwave on high power for 1 to 3 minutes, until the leaves are limp and pliable.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the beaten egg, 1/2 cup of the chopped apple, cornbread stuffing mix, and 2 tablespoons of apple juice or cider.
  6. Add the bulk pork sausage to the bowl and mix thoroughly until well combined.
  7. Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions.
  8. Place one portion of the meat mixture near the unfolded edge of each cabbage leaf.
  9. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling, then roll up the leaf tightly to enclose the filling.
  10. Arrange the rolls seam-side down in the microwave-safe baking dish.
  11. Pour 1/4 cup of water over the rolls.
  12. Cover the dish again with vented clear plastic wrap.
  13. Microwave on high power for 12 to 14 minutes, rotating the dish a half-turn after 7 minutes.
  14. While the rolls cook, prepare the sauce: In a 2-cup microwave-safe measure, stir together the remaining 1/2 cup apple juice or cider, cornstarch, and instant beef bouillon.
  15. Stir the remaining chopped apple into the sauce mixture.
  16. Microwave the sauce uncovered on high power for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until thickened and bubbly.
  17. Transfer the cooked cabbage rolls to a serving platter.
  18. Spoon the warm apple sauce over the cabbage rolls and serve immediately.
