In a heavy saucepan, cook the bacon, onion, and apples over medium-low heat until onions are limp, about 3 minutes. Add the cabbage. Cook about 10 minutes, uncovered over medium heat until the cabbage wilts, stirring now and then. Add the remaining ingredients. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-40 minutes (until cabbage is tender--might be a little longer). The cabbage should be moist but not juicy. If liquid accumulates, remove lid at the end of the cooking period to cook off some liquid. There can be moisture at the bottom of the pan, but not a big puddle.
