01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a large roasting pan with cooking spray, then place the pork roast in the center. Surround it with sauerkraut, and tuck apple wedges on top of the sauerkraut for a bit of sweetness. Sprinkle brown sugar over the roast and apples to add some caramelized flavor. Cover the whole pan tightly with aluminum foil.

Step 2
Pop the pan into the oven and let it bake for about 2 hours, or until the roast is just slightly pink in the middle. You can check it with a meat thermometer — it should read at least 145°F (63°C). Once it’s done, take it out and let the roast rest somewhere warm for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps keep the meat juicy and tender.
Why you’ll love it

How to serve
Serve this meal with boiled potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices. A side of mustard or applesauce can add a nice touch of sweetness and contrast to the tangy sauerkraut.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the pork tender and prevent the sauerkraut from drying out. This dish also freezes well for longer storage.
