Crock Pot Corned Beef With Sauerkraut & Apples
"A bit of a change from Corned Beef & Cabbage. The Apples adds a slight pleasant sweet flavour to the sauerkraut. I like serving horseradish along side or grainy mustard. Your timing depends on the thickness of the brisket. I find 5 hours is just right for most"
