Prepare the Greens: Begin by cooking the collard greens in boiling water to cover in a Dutch oven for approximately 30 minutes. Once tender, drain them thoroughly.

Combine Ingredients: To the sautéed aromatics, add the cooked collard greens, sliced cooking apples, dry white wine, sugar, salt, and pepper.
-
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, cover the Dutch oven and reduce the heat to simmer. Allow the flavors to meld together for about 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
