Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless pork loin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 16 ounces sauerkraut
• 2 whole large apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 large yellow onion
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 whole garlic cloves

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork loin on all sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 3

Drain the sauerkraut and rinse it briefly in cold water if you prefer a milder flavor. Set aside.

Step 4

Peel and core the apples, then cut them into thick slices. Dice the potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Thinly slice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Add the sauerkraut to the bottom of the crock pot, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Layer the apple slices, diced potatoes, and sliced onion over the sauerkraut.

Step 7

Place the seared pork loin over the vegetables.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the chicken broth, caraway seeds, and brown sugar until combined. Pour the mixture over the pork and vegetables.

Step 9

Sprinkle the minced garlic over the top.

Step 10

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the pork is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 11

Once done, shred the pork, if desired, or slice it for serving. Stir the sauerkraut, apples, and potatoes together gently to combine the flavors.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
