Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Place the olive oil in an oven-safe pan and heat over medium to high heat.

Step 3

Next, add the chops to the hot pan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to become golden brown.

Step 4

Flip them over and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan.

Step 5

At this stage, add the sauerkraut and apple slices to the pan, followed by the browned pork chops.

Step 6

Place your skillet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, covered.

Step 7

Remove the cover and simmer for another 15 minutes, or until the pork achieves an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees.

Step 8

Finally, serve your pork chops with sauerkaut alone or with your favorite side.
