  1. Saute the pierogis in 1 Tbsp oil until both sides are just starting to golden.
  2. Meanwhile, in another pan, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 6 minutes. 
  3. Add the apple and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add the cabbage, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the cabbage is slightly wilted but still crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes.
