German Pork Chops and Sauerkraut

German Pork Chops and Sauerkraut

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

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

Step 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 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 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.

Step 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).
