Ingredients
•
4 pork chops
•
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
•
1 tablespoon oil, or as needed
•
1 (20 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained
•
1 apple - peeled, cored, and diced
•
1 onion, finely chopped
•
1/4 cup brown sugar
•
1/2 tablespoon caraway seeds
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
2
Rub pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and pan-fry pork chops on both sides until browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
3
Place browned pork chops into the prepared casserole dish.
4
Combine sauerkraut, apple, onion, brown sugar, and caraway seeds in a bowl; cover pork chops with the mixture. Cover tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture.
5
Bake pork chops in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
