Preheat oven to 450F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
Cut the 1/2 head of red cabbage into 4 quarters, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and put on the cookie sheet rounded outer edge up. Bake at 450F for 45 min. Check every 15 minutes or so and if top layers are browning you can push them off onto the sheet so the under layers can get a bit more heat if you want (it's not necessary).
While the cabbage is cooking you can make the quick pickled shallot. In a small container with a lid add 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp sugar. Whisk until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Add one shallot, thinly sliced, close the lid and set in the refrigerator.
Once the cabbage is done, remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly. Then slice your apples and chop your dill. Toss the apples in 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar which will keep them from browning.
Once the cabbage is cool enough to let you work with, add to a large bowl. Next add the apples, the other tbsp of apple cider vinegar and maple syrup.( Start with 1 tbsp, assemble the salad and if you feel like you need to sweeten it up a bit more, drizzle on another tbsp). Toss until well coated.
Arrange on serving platter. remove shallot from vinegar and arrange on top. Sprinkle with fresh dill, and season with salt and pepper. Give it a taste and if you want a little more sweet as mentioned, drizzle a bit more maple syrup on top. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Salad can be enjoyed warm or cold and is great the next day as all the flavours meld together.
Quick pickled shallots are good for 4-5 days in the fridge.
