A delightful twist on a classic dish, combining the tanginess of sauerkraut with the sweetness of apples.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Rinse the sauerkraut under cold water and squeeze out the excess liquid.
Rinsing sauerkraut reduces its saltiness and balances the flavor.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the sauerkraut, apple cider, chicken broth, and sliced apples to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle boil.
Ensure the apples are evenly distributed for consistent cooking.
Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish, cover with a lid or foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture and meld the flavors.
Serve warm as a side dish or main course, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with your favorite protein or enjoy on its own for a light meal.
