Sweet Apple Coleslaw has the perfect balance of sweet and tangy for a little twist on the traditional coleslaw recipe. It’s a classic summertime recipe. This recipe came from a church cookbook that my daughters put together when they were younger. It was so fun getting to try out recipes from our friends. This one quickly became a keeper.
You could use bagged coleslaw to make this recipe but we think it’s extra special because the cabbage is cut small. It just seems extra creamy that way.

How to Make Sweet Apple Coleslaw
1. Start by making the creamy sauce. In a large mixing bowl mix together the mayonnaise, sugar, and lemon juice.
2. Then use a food processor to shred the cabbage. I use the small shredding blade on my processor. Measure out 6 cups and add to the mayonnaise mixture.
If you have leftover cabbage store it in a storage bag in the refrigerator. It can be added to a soup or stir fry. It should keep for several days.
I use the food processer to chop the celery and apples as well. I use the pulse button so that they don’t get chopped too fine.
3. Using the pulse button chop the celery and and add to the cabbage mixture.
4. Rinse the apple. Leaving the peel on, core and again using the pulse button, chop the apple. Add it to the mixing bowl and then stir all ingredients together.
Store the coleslaw in the refrigerator.

If you want to make this even faster use two bags of precut cabbage. However, one the reasons this recipe works so well is that the cabbage is cut small with the shredding blade.
