This cabbage dish has so many layers of flavor that it is lip smackin' good.   Being that it is a Cajun Cajun Cabbage Apples & Andouillerecipe, it is spicy-hot and tasty.   The andouille sausage has it's own heat which contributes to the many flavor notes.  Serve this cabbage, apple and sausage over your homemade real mashed potatoes.  The two things compliment each other and the potatoes soften the effects of the 'heat'.    Of course if you don't like it Cajun spicy, don't use as much of the seasoning mix.
