Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step
15 mins

Season pork chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 5-7 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Transfer seared pork chops to the prepared baking dish. (15 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In a medium bowl, combine the rinsed and drained sauerkraut, diced apple, chopped onion, brown sugar, and caraway seeds. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors. (5 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Spoon the sauerkraut mixture evenly over the pork chops in the baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. (2 minutes)

05

Step
45 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (45 minutes)

06

Step
10 mins

Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking for the top to become slightly browned. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. (15 minutes)

Rinsing the sauerkraut helps to mellow its tartness. If you prefer a more intense flavor, skip the rinsing step.
For a richer flavor, try using a bone-in pork chop. The bone adds depth to the dish during baking.
Feel free to experiment with different types of apples. A Honeycrisp or Fuji apple would also work well.
Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles to soak up the delicious pan juices.

    I used a sweet apple like Fuji, and it was a great balance to the sauerkraut.
