This slow cooker pork, apples, and sauerkraut dish is traditionally served on New Year's Day in central Pennsylvania. The apple and onion in this recipe are surprisingly good and work magic together. It is customarily served with mashed potatoes. The sauerkraut mixture tops the mashed potatoes like a gravy.
