This lively coleslaw has a bite from the tart apples making it better than most slaws. Combined with cabbage and a delicious dressing this coleslaw is light and refreshing and great on a pulled pork sandwich.

Thinly slice the apples using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Then, the thinly sliced apples into matchstick pieces.

Place into a nonmetallic bowl with 1 cup of water the juice of 2 lemons. This will help to keep the apples from turning brown. Let apples sit in the mixture for 15 minutes or so.
