Pork Chops and Sauerkraut

The apple and wine (or rum) add a slight sweetness to the dish which counteracts the bite of the sauerkraut. Goes nicely with herb-roasted potatoes.

Excellent dish! Super fast and easy, economical and tasted great. We used white wine, and paired with Broccoli Rabe With Sun-Dried Tomatoes and a rice blend. We'll make this again, thanks.

    This was great. Very quick for a week night. I didn't have an apple so used some canned apple pie filling and the rum I used was spiced.

    We thought this chop 'n kraut dish was fantastic! I used my electric skillet, so it made cooking very easy. I used apple juice in place of the apple, and rum, as suggested. The flavors blended together really well, and the end result was tender meat, and a tangy sauce. Delicious!! Thank you for sharing ... This one is a keeper, for sure!

    I enjoyed the apple/onion combo with the sauerkraut but I used rum (as suggested for an option in the recipe) and it did nothing for the flavor. The recipe did not specify white or dark rum - I used white Next time I will use Marsala wine. The chops were moist and flavor ful Thanks FlemishMinx for this recipe
