Country Pork 'n' Sauerkraut

This recipe comes from Taste of Home Grandma's Favorites and was submitted by Donna Hellendrung. I like the recipe but I think I would use unsweetened applesauce and a little less than what is called for and also cut the brown sugar in half.. They were just a little to sweet for me. I like the bite of sauerkraut.
