Eeeew! My cabbage will never taste like Gin!
No, I grew up on plain braised cabbage. No fruit. Just onions, bacon fat (or butter), vinegar and sugar. I never had one that had apples mixed in when I was in Germany. I've had it here and I find it too sweet and fruity. Germans are usually pretty straight forward with their traditional foods.
Edit: The Mennonites get adventurous though. I have Food that Really Schmecks on an iPad app if there's anything that I can look up for you. It's food I ate when I lived near Waterloo as an undergrad, and it's what we get a lot of here. We have a large Mennonite population in Manitoba. A large Hutterite population too. They both make delicious food that is German-inspired, but it's distinctly different than German food from Germany. For example, they do boiled perogies (that they call Wareneki) that get served with a bacon fat roux-based cream sauce.
Here's the Mennonite Girls Can Cook website if you're interested. It's tasty, hearty food that is common in our rural Mennonite communities (classics for fall suppers and the like):

Sorry, I should have mentioned that you have to go to the Mennonite Recipes section to find the Mennonite recipes. The rest are things you'd probably find on allrecipes.com and the like.
