In a 6 quart or larger slow cooker, add the sauerkraut, apple and onion slices, chicken stock, brown sugar and caraway seed.
16 oz sauerkraut, 1 medium apple, 1 large onion, ½ cup chicken stock, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Season the pork tenderloin with salt, pepper and paprika. Add the pork to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until just browned.
2 lb pork tenderloin, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper
Transfer the pork to the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 6 hours. Shred the pork into the sauerkraut. (See notes)
Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.

Note: if using a pork loin or pork roast, cook for 8 hours. Tenderloin is much leaner and will only need 6 hours or less to fully cook.
