SLOW COOKER PORK AND SAUERKRAUT WITH APPLES

Slow Cooker Pork and Sauerkraut with Apples image

The apple and onion together work magic on this classic dish. This is traditionally served on New Year's Day in Central Pennsylvania. It is customarily served with mashed potatoes. The sauerkraut mixture tops the mashed potatoes like a gravy. Surprisingly good.
