My dad learned to make pork chops and sauerkraut as a soldier during World War II from a local German woman during the Allied occupation of Germany. I don't know the German name for it, but this is a hearty and delicious pork dish.

Ingredients

  • 8 center cut pork chops

  • 2 pounds sauerkraut, drained

  • 1 large red apple, diced

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Place chops into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  3. Mix sauerkraut, apple, onion, brown sugar, and caraway seeds in a bowl until well combined, and spread the sauerkraut mixture over the pork chops. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

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