Ingredients

• 1 (3 pound) pork roast
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans sauerkraut, or to taste
• 3 cups water, or more as needed
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 apple - peeled, cored, and finely chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Place pork roast in a large roasting pan. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix sauerkraut, water, onion, and apple together in a large bowl. Pour sauerkraut mixture over roast.
3. Bake roast in the preheated oven until heated through, about 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Continue to cook roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), adding water if sauerkraut mixture looks dry, about 2 hours more.
4. Remove roast from oven and allow to rest in a warm area before slicing, about 10 minutes.
