Tips:

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the apples. This will help them absorb the dressing and soften slightly.
Soak the cabbage in cold water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to remove any bitterness and make it more tender.
Use a variety of apples for different flavors and textures. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette is always a good option, but you can also try a creamy dressing or a tangy dressing made with vinegar or citrus juice.
Serve the slaw immediately, or chill it for later. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
