Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 24 ounces Sauerkraut
- 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 1 large Apple, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the slow cooker, add half of the sauerkraut, followed by a layer of sliced onions, minced garlic, and apple slices.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and caraway seeds over the first layer.
Place the seared pork chops on top of the sauerkraut mixture.
Add the remaining sauerkraut on top, along with the rest of the onions and apples.
Pour the chicken broth over everything to moisten and distribute flavors.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the pork chops are tender.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes or crusty bread for a complete meal. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for added color.
