Step 1

Drain the sauerkraut. You might like to keep the sauerkraut juice.

Step 2

In a large skillet or pot, saute the bacon over low-medium heat. When crisp, remove the bacon from skillet, leaving as much of the bacon fat in the skillet as possible.

Step 3

If there is less than 1 TBSP of fat in the skillet, add some extra lard, goose fat, avocado oil, or other oil with high smoke point.

Step 4

Add the onions and saute until translucent.

Step 5

Add the apples and sautee for another 2-3 mins.

Step 6

Add the sauerkraut, broth, maple syrup, and spices (if using), stir until combined, lower the heat to low, put a lid on, and gently simmer for 30-45 mins or until all the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 7

Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Serve with German bratwurst and boiled potatoes or with your favorite meat dish and sides.
