Add minced garlic and diced apple to the pot. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the apple begins to soften.
Step 3: Add Sauerkraut:
Add the rinsed sauerkraut to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and apples.
Step 4: Seasoning:
Pour in the dry white wine and add the bay leaf, juniper berries (if using), caraway seeds, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well to distribute the seasonings.
Step 5: Simmer:
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring the sauerkraut is mostly submerged. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for at least 30-40 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Step 6: Finish with Butter (Optional):
If desired, stir in unsalted butter at the end for added richness. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
