Ingredients

• 1 onion, chopped
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 3 cups water, or more as needed
• 1 (3 pound) pork roast
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans sauerkraut, or to taste
• 1 medium apple - peeled, cored, and finely chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Place pork into a large roasting pan. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix together sauerkraut, water, onion, and apple in a large bowl until combined; pour over pork.

Step 3

Roast pork in the preheated oven until heated through, about 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of pork reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 2 hours more; add more water as needed if sauerkraut mixture begins to look dry.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and allow pork to rest for about 10 minutes in a warm area before slicing.
