Pork and Sauerkraut

Steps

1. 1Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit. Pat pork loin dry with a paper towel, then season all over with salt and pepper.
2. 2Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven on the stove over medium-high heat. Once melted, sear pork in butter until golden brown on all sides.
3. 3Remove pork from pot and remove pot from heat. Add sauerkraut into pot in one even layer, then sprinkle onion, apple, and brown sugar evenly over sauerkraut.
4. 4Place pork loin back into pot, nestled into sauerkraut then cover pot or Dutch oven with lid. Bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into pork loin reads 150° Fahrenheit.
