Tony's braised red cabbage

Red cabbage was a heap cheaper in the supermarket this week. So, a nice comforting winter favourite was in order.  This is a variation of a dish that I first had during a shared Sunday lunch at a good friend's house.  I'm not sure I've ever been able to replicate his dish! So, thanks for the inspiration Tony - this one's for you!
Ingredients
1/2 red cabbage thinly sliced
2 small onions thinly sliced
3 tbs honey
2 cloves garlic chopped
2 apples - peeled, cored and chopped into bite size pieces
3/4 cup of red wine
2 tbs apple cider vinegar
2 tsp grated orange zest
1 stick of cinnamon (about 5 cm ish)

1.  Fry the onion and garlic until soft.  Add the cabbage and stir fry for a further 3 minutes until the cabbage begins to show signs of breaking down.
I just love the beautiful bright colour of red cabbage

2. Add the honey and cook for another 2 minutes. 
3.  Add the red wine, cider vinegar, orange zest, cinnamon and apples. Cook for 20 mins.
