Roasted Cabbage Rolls

"This recipe is from Cooking Light. Ground turkey & Granny Smith Apples combine for a wonderful filling for cabbage rolls -- topped with a sweet & savory sauce. This is my husband's favorite dish & I usually double the sauce for him. Don't let the length of the recipe scare you -- they're worth the effort!!"
