Slow Cooker Pork with Apples and Sauerkraut
Ingredients
  • 6 thick-cut pork chops
  • 4 tart apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • water to cover
  • 1 quart sauerkraut
  • 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and place it on the stovetop. Sear pork chops in the skillet, 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until they reach a golden brown color. Remove the excess fat from the skillet.
2
Next, prepare the slow cooker by layering sliced apples and onions at the bottom of it. Place the browned pork chops on top of the vegetables, followed by a sufficient amount of water to cover the bottom layer of the crock.
3
Place the slow cooker on its highest heat setting and cook for 3 hours or on its lowest setting and cook for 6 hours. After the cooking time is up, add a spoonful of sauerkraut and a pinch of fennel seed to the mixture, then continue cooking for an additional 1 hour.
