Pork 'n Kraut Skillet

Pork and sauerkraut are like a perfect marriage—especially with the sweet addition of apple. This skillet supper is easy for a busy weeknight meal during football season. Serve with warm crusty bread.

1 (16-ounce) package refrigerated sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
