Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces bone-in pork chops (about 2 to 2 1/2 pounds total)
  • 2 large apples (cored and thinly sliced, about 4 cups) Choose sweet varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp for added flavor.
  • 2 medium yellow onions (thinly sliced, about 3 cups)
  • 1 cup apple juice or apple cider

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or rub with a little oil.
  2. Layer the sliced onions evenly over the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Spread the sliced apples over the onions in an even layer.
  4. Lay the pork chops on top of the apples and onions.
  5. Pour the apple juice or apple cider evenly over the pork chops and fruit.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or HIGH for 3 to 4 hours until the pork is tender.
  2. Taste the sauce and add salt and black pepper if desired.
Serving
  1. Serve warm right from the slow cooker with the soft apples, onions, and brown pan juices over the top.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To avoid mushy apples, you can add them halfway through the cooking time.
