I make this pretty often, but here are the changes I make. I use 2 lbs of country ribs salt and pepper well then sear. I use 1 onion and 2 apples diced and saute in a bit of olive oil then use 1tsp of brown sugar to mellow the acidity. I return the ribs to the pot and cover with sauerkraut. Simmer for 4-6 hours and serve with mashed potatoes. Delish!

I have been looking for a great use for the frequently on-sale diced pork I find at my local market, and this is definitely one! I have often used diced pork to make a too-tough Mexican stew, but this recipe yielded a deliciously tender German pork, apple and sauerkraut supper! I first sauteed some onions in olive oil, and then added pork that I'd tossed with some flour and white pepper. Browned the meat, then took it out to deglaze with some water and white wine, as another reviewer suggested. Then, I threw everything back in, along with the can of sauerkraut, two diced apples, ~6 small diced Yukon gold potatoes, ~Tbsp. brown sugar, a few splashes of white wine and some water and apple juice. It all cooked together, tender and wonderful, in less than an hour, and every bit as fabulous as (if not more so, and a whole lot quicker than) many other German pork/apple/onion/kraut things I've tried in my slow cooker or Dutch oven!

Eatable, fullfilled a need and satisfied the taste buds. A possible repeat. Kids did not care for it.

I'd forgotten how good this dish is! To make it a 'one pan clean-up with a twist', I’d browned boneless pork chops (4) in an electric skillet; add sauerkraut & 3 peeled, quartered potatoes and a pinch of caraway seeds. No apple. But what brings it all together...Add a can of BEER. Cover and set dial at 350, simmer for 40 minutes or until pork is thoroughly cooked. One pan cleanup and easy.

Very good and so easy. Didn't have as much flavor as my mother's but it was close enough will make again and again due to its ease. Added some apple sausage and bratwurst to the pot.

This was a wonderful, easy chilly Monday night supper. I made it just as it was, used a local saurkraut from our farmers market- (that may have improve it a little) It was a hit for our whole family including the youngest (7 yr. old) boy. It's a keeper- as my husband declared add it to the rotation!

I used tofu instead of pork, and I thought it tasted great. Hubby was a little put off by soft applesauce like apples chunks with peel in his sauerkraut dish. I like the idea of adding in some sweet to counter the sauerkraut, so maybe I'll do applesauce instead of apple chunks next time.

This is a great basic recipe. I used pork chops rather than a loin and I added 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and half a chopped oninon. I sauted the onion with a little olive oil to soften them up before mixing all the ingredients together. Then,I seared both sides of the chops, deglazed the pan with some white wine (and also added 1/4 c. of water) and then put the rest of the ingredients on top of the chops in a covered pan and let simmer until cooked through which which was only 15-20 minutes. This was a very yummy dinner!

Good recipe. I put white pepper on the chops before browning and omitted the oil. I also added a touch of brown sugar to cut down on the tartness of the sauerkraut. I've also made in my slow cooker.

Very good, I had a 2 lb jar of sauerkraut to use, so I added the whole thing. I rinsed the kraut first and then sauteed. I also added 2 cans of golden pork gravy to the simmering mix, and 1 Tbs brown sugar, and of course salt and pepper to taste. We enjoyed this meal.

Considering how easy this was and with so little ingredients, I gave it a 4. Tastes good too! But I will add another apple next time.

Excellent recipe. Quick and easy. I used 3/4c apple juice instead of an apple, added 1/2 sliced onion, cubed the pork in at least inch cubes & browned very dark (maybe the people who said it was dry made the meat cubes too small?) and after an hour it came out wonderful with tender pork. I'll double the recipe next time to be sure there's leftovers.

Fixed this for dinner tonight and it was very good. It is something I would fix again. I have made something siniliaronly used boneless pork country style ribs and sauerkraut and baked them. But I really enjoyed this. Thanks for the recipe.
