Apples And Sauerkraut

• 1 1/2 tablespoon butter substitute, such as brummel & brown spread
• 1 onion, halved and sliced thinly
• 2 apples, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup red-wine vinegar
• 1 1/2 tablespoon yellow mustard seed
• tablespoon dark brown sugar
• 2 pound finely shredded sauerkraut
• 1 bay leaf
• freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1. Melt the spread in a small skillet. Add the onion and apples and sauté until the onion is translucent.
2. Whisk together the vinegar, mustard seed, and sugar in the bottom of a 4-quart slow cooker until the sugar dissolves. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir to evenly distribute. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Serve hot.
