How to Make Apple Pork Chops In The Crock Pot

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.

  5. Pour the apple sauce mixture evenly over the pork chops.
  6. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, or until the pork chops are cooked through and easily shred with a fork.
  7. Serve over your favorite cornbread stuffing and creamed corn. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
