Instructions

In a large, cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering, once hot add the cabbage wedges cut side down and brown on all sides, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add the bacon to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, browned but not crisp, about 5 minutes.
Add the onion, cook until softened and just starting to brown, about 7-9 minutes.
Add minced garlic, paprika, brown sugar (if using), season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
Stir in the apple vinegar and simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the apple cider and bring the mixture to a boil.
Arrange the cabbage wedges in the skillet, cover and braise over medium-low heat, turning once, until tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cabbage to a platter and cover with foil.
Continue to boil the sauce over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5-8 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon the sauce over the braised cabbage and serve garnished with a sprinkle of parsley.
