Ingredients

  • 4 (1 inch thick) boneless pork chops

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick

  • 1 medium onion, sliced

  • 2 apples - peeled, cored and sliced

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained

Directions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Quickly brown the pork chops on each side. Set aside.

  2. Arrange sweet potato slices in the bottom of a 3 to 4 quart slow cooker. Cover with the onion slices, then the apple slices. Sprinkle brown sugar, nutmeg and salt over the apples, and grind a little pepper. Place the pork chops on top of the pile, and cover with sauerkraut. Cover, and cook on Low for about 5 hours. It can go an extra hour without drying out though.

  3. Serve pork and vegetables with juice from the slow cooker spooned over them.
