Ingredients

• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 4 pork chops
• 1 (20 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained
• 1 tablespoon oil, or as needed
• 1 apple - peeled, cored, and diced
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 tablespoon caraway seeds

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake pork chops in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step 2

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.

Step 3

Combine sauerkraut, apple, onion, brown sugar, and caraway seeds in a bowl; cover pork chops with the mixture. Cover tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture.

Step 4

Rub pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and pan-fry pork chops on both sides until browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

Step 5

Place browned pork chops into the prepared casserole dish.
