Apple Sauerkraut Pork Cops

Apples and sauerkraut go so well with pork or ham. I love the caraway seeds, but they can be lefto out if you don't care for them. Use the fresher tasting bagged sauerkraut if you can find it, but canned will do as well.

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 45 Minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes

• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 4 center cut pork chops, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
• 2 cups drained and rinsed sauerkraut, or 1 (15 ounce) can, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional
• 1 cup applesauce
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions:

Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops to hot oil and brown on both sides. Remove pork chops; set aside. Drain off excess pan drippings. Add the rinsed sauerkraut, water, and caraway seeds to the skillet, stirring well. Place pork chops on top. Combine remaining ingredients and spoon evenly over the pork chops. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, until pork chops are tender.
