Ok, I just made this and it's awesome. I probably shouldn't review it until I try it with the caraway seed (I didn't have any) But I'm sure it will only enhance a great combo of flavors. My only problem will be trying not to eat the whole thing. Soo good! And soooo easy.

Unlike some reviewers, I truly appreciate reading reviews where lots of changes have been made -- it gets the creative juices flowing. Plus,it's a rare recipe that doesn't have two or more ingredients that my food sensitivities do not allow. So I tweak based on those sensitivities, on what I picked up at the CSA in a given week, and on what suggestions other reviewers have provided. So... after browning the chops (usually in bacon grease or olive oil), I remove them and throw in onions After they caramelize, I throw in as much or as little garlic a I want, followed shortly by caraway seeds. Then I add root vegetables -- the first time parsnips, and this time a carrot and a watermelon radish -- and add low-sodium organic chicken broth. The chops go in next, and then I dollop apple sauce and sauerkraut on top of that. Cover and simmer until the veggies are tender enough and the pork has reached recommended internal temp. The flavors together are unbelievable, and it's an easy, quick, and nutritious one-pot meal. Thanks to PETEIYC and all the helpful reviewers.

This was sooo good! I followed the directions and proportions as directed except for the caraway seeds - but only because I didn't have any. Still turned out amazing. This is a keeper.

I have this thing where I HAVE to try a new recipe every weekend, because I get bored with food. THIS was it for us this weekend. I used pork sirloin chops that were REALLY thick and I spiced them up & browned them like others....sauteed some onions and mixed that with drained sauerkraut. Threw a chopped up apple on top and a dash or so of apple juice. Made Mashed potatoes on the side and YUMMMM!!!!! My 13 year old who loves everything insisted he was going to hate this.....but he loved it! The pork just fell apart so I helped it a bit and mixed it all together. The polock in me is LOVING IT! : )

This was very good. I caramelized the onions after browning the chops, then added the rest of the ingredients. I didn't have apple juice, so I used 2 tbsps of brown sugar and added about 1/4 cup of raisins and 1/2cup of chicken broth (my kraut was too dry) It was wonderful. I served it with mashed potatoes and some cranberry sauce. Will make this again.

This is the one recipe that I have not altered to suit my tastes and was extremely surprised by how well it tastes. If you love saurkraut and are looking for something new you will not be disappointed.

Very good. Not too difficult. Changed the order of cooking. Cooked bacon in pan first. Remove to paper towel. Brown chops in bacon fat. Place in a 9x13. Saute onion and garlic a few minutes until soft. Add applesauce, brown sugar, and sauerkraut to pan, bring to boil. Scrape up all the brown bits. Crumble bacon on top of chops and pour rest of ingredients on top, cover with foil, and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes.

Delicious! Made it exactly as they said and the only change i would make would be to make more saurkraut.

This was easy and delicious! I've picked up Bavarian style sauerkraut by mistake and didn't really like the overly sweet flavor. This recipe had some of the same elements but with a much more subtle flavor because it's homemade. I did take the advice of others and used apple sauce (about 1/2 Cup) instead of apple juice, I just didn't think 2 tablespoons of apple flavor was enough. This one is a keeper.

This was very good. I did it as instructed and it came out tasting very good! It's not something I want to have all the time, but this is a nice meal to make every once and a while. Thanks!
