Apple Cabbage Stew

A hearty stew of red apple and cabbage seasoned with salt, cooked at any pot or spit to restore both Health and Stamina.

Apple Cabbage Stew is a simple country dish that pairs the sweetness of a red apple with plain cabbage and a pinch of salt. Like every cooking recipe in Skyrim, it is known from the very start of the game, so any character who has gathered the three ingredients can make it without training or perks. Cooking is not a skill, which makes stews like this a handy alternative to potions for characters who have not invested in Alchemy.

Eating the stew instantly restores 10 Health and 15 Stamina. It is a plain one-off restore with no lingering effect, which places it among the better everyday meals: most cooked food only heals five to ten points of a single attribute, while this one tops up two at once.

Both the apple and the cabbage are covered on the Fruit and Vegetables page.
