Pickled Cabbage:
Combine all ingredients and let marinate for at least 1 hour.
Arepas:
In a large bowl, combine masa, apple, raisins, salt and sugar. Mix to combine.
Slowly add enough water (a little more than 1 cup) until you have a soft dough.
Take some dough and flatten by pressing your palms together with the dough in between your hands, about 3" in diameter.
Heat enough oil for shallow frying in a skillet. Fry on low heat until golden brown on both sides.
Drain on paper towels.
Stacked Arepas:
To assemble, top each arepa with queso and finally top with the cabbage salad.
