A delightful twist on a classic dish, combining tender pork with the tangy sweetness of apple and sauerkraut.
Place the pork loin in the slow cooker.
Ensure the pork loin is evenly placed to cook uniformly.
Sprinkle the caraway seeds, black pepper, and salt over the pork.
Rub the spices gently into the pork for better flavor infusion.
Core and slice the apples, then layer them on top of the pork.
Choose apples that hold their shape well during cooking.
Add the sauerkraut over the apples.
Drain the sauerkraut slightly if you prefer a less tangy flavor.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the sauerkraut.
Adjust the sugar amount based on your sweetness preference.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top.
Melt the butter gently to avoid burning.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to perfection.
Before serving, stir the sauerkraut gently to mix the flavors.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes to enhance the flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy your meal.
