✅️4. In a large bowl, mix the sauerkraut, apple slices, chopped onion, caraway seeds, and brown sugar until well combined.
✅️5. Spread the sauerkraut mixture evenly over the pork chops.
✅️6. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.

👉3 Tips for Best Results:
↪️1. Squeeze the sauerkraut well before using—it prevents the dish from becoming too sour or soggy.
↪️2. Use bone-in chops for more flavor and moisture during baking.
↪️3. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes after baking to allow the juices to settle and the flavors to meld beautifully.
