Steps:

• Salt and pepper the chops and brown them in hot oil or butter, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Add the apple and onions to the same skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion starts to look golden.
• Add the wine and stir, scraping up all the browned bits, and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
• Stir in the sauerkraut, and place the chops on top, including any juices that have collected. Cover the skillet, lower the heat and cook until the chops are done, about 7 minutes, depending on thickness. Do not overcook.
• Note1: I've also made this successfully with chardonnay, but riesling is the best.
• Note2: Sauerkraut packed in plastic bags and sold in the refrigerator case tastes much better than the canned.
