Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, season the pork chops on both sides with salt and the paprika. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until browned, adjusting the heat as needed so the butter doesn't get too dark, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the pork to a plate.
• Add the apples and shallots to the skillet. Cook, tossing, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Move the apples and shallots to one side of the skillet and add the tomato paste to the other side. Cook the tomato paste, stirring, until it darkens slightly, about 1 minute. Add the vinegar, honey and thyme, then stir in 1 cup of the boiling water from the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook until the apples are tender and the sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a little more water, if needed.
• Meanwhile, add the pierogi to the pot of boiling water and cook as the label directs. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the skillet; nestle the pork chops in the mixture. Cut the remaining 1 tablespoon butter into small pieces and stir into the sauce. Cook, stirring, until the pierogi are coated in the sauce and the pork is just cooked through, about 2 minutes.

GRANDMA'S SUNDAY DINNER PORK AND KRAUT PIEROGIES

Steps:

• 1. Mix together the flour and salt. Beat the egg, then add all at once to the flour mixture. Add the 1/2 cup sour cream and the softened butter pieces and work until the dough loses most of its stickiness (about 5-7 minutes). You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this, but be careful not to overbeat.
• 2. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or overnight; the dough can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Each batch of dough makes about 12-15 pierogies, depending on size. (You may have to make two batches for this filling)
• 3. Roll dough out to 1/8 inch thickness using floured surface. Cut out rounds of 4 to 6 inches. (I use a large sized tuna can with both ends cut out)
• 4. Using 2 T. bacon drippings, brown ground pork til no longer pink. Add onion, garlic and apple and continue cooking, stirring, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add sauerkraut, beer, pepper and brown sugar. Simmer till all liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Add bacon, stir to combine.
• 5. Using 1 tablespoon of mixture, place on pierogi dough rounds. Fold dough over filling and crimp edges with fork.
• 6. Fill 4-6 quart saucepan with water ¾ full and add 2 tsp. salt. Bring water to full boil. Place each pierogi into boiling water, up to 6 at a time and boil vigorously until pierogies float to top.
• 7. Remove from boiling water and fry each one in melted butter til browned on each side. Serve with sour cream and additional bacon bits, if desired.
• 8. *Notes - You can also serve these with caramelized or blackened onions along with the bacon and sour cream. I have also had them only boiled and then served with browned butter instead of also frying them.
