For an even richer flavor, consider searing the pork roast in a hot skillet before placing it in the roasting pan. This adds a beautiful crust and deepens the overall taste. Adjust the amount of sauerkraut to your liking. If you prefer a less tangy flavor, rinse it thoroughly before adding it to the mixture. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or dumplings to soak up the delicious pan juices. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley makes for a lovely finishing touch.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace the pork roast in a large roasting pan. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
03
StepIn a large bowl, combine the sauerkraut (rinsed for a milder flavor), water, chopped onion, and finely chopped apple. Mix well to combine, then pour this mixture evenly over the pork roast.
04
StepRoast in the preheated oven for 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
05
StepReduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Continue roasting for approximately 2 hours more, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Check the sauerkraut mixture periodically, adding more water as needed to prevent it from drying out.
06
StepOnce cooked, remove the roasting pan from the oven and allow the pork to rest for about 10 minutes in a warm place before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
