Saucy Apple Pork Chops (Oven or Crockpot Methods)

I've had this recipe for many years as I have always favored the combination of pork and apples.

I add sweet taters to the mix too.  Oh so yummy!

I'll give instructions for an oven method, but this time I used the crockpot. Makes for an awesome Sunday dinner after it's cooked while we're at church. 

This is another recipe from my new cookbook...."Love at First Bite".   It's chocked full of simple and yummy recipes like this one. 

(If you have put off reading details about the book, click here)
Just remember...I love quick, easy and healthy options. 

SAUCY APPLE PORK CHOPS 

2 c. applesauce

1/2 c. sugar, optional

2 Tb. soy sauce

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 tsp. ground ginger or pumpkin pie spice 

(I use pps and add more) 

6 - 8 boneless pork loin chops 

(about 1/2" thick)

2 Tb. butter or margarine

fresh ground pepper, optional

In a medium bowl, combine applesauce, sugar, soy sauce, garlic and ginger; mix well.  Pour into a greased 9" X 13" X 2" baking dish.  In a skillet, brown pork chops in butter; (I season ours with fresh ground pepper); place over applesauce mixture.  Bake, uncovered, at 325 for 35 - 45 minutes or until meat is tender. 

Yield: 6 servings 

CROCKPOT METHOD:

I used about half the amount of applesauce, added the soy sauce and garlic, then added about 1/3 c. apple juice. Placed it in the bottom of the greased crockpot.  Seasoned the chops with pepper, browned them, placed them over the applesauce, then added medium chunks of sweet potato and quartered apples, leaving the skin on so they will hold their shape. Sprinkled with the pumpkin pie spice. Cover; let cook on low for 5 - 6 hours.

{Slow Cooker} Honey Dijon Pork Chops and Apples

I love simple meals...and of course delicious too, and this one really fits that bill. 

We eat a lot of chicken, and occassionally we eat the 'other white meat'.

After getting a very good deal on some boneless pork chops, I was happy to come across this delicious meal at Eat at Home.

Tiffany is my kind of gal (and her last name, King, is my maiden name, so I'm naturally partial to her=)  I think we share taste buds as she surely shares MY kind of recipes.

(Did you know I had to humble myself to marry my husband?  I went from a KING to a BAKER). {grins}

Tiffany also has her own eBook - Feasting in 15. Check it out - it has lots of ideas for speedcooking weeknight dinners. 

OH SO YUM too!

I LOOOVE pork chops with apples too, so I didn't have to think twice about trying this simply satisfying meal.

The recipe also calls for onions, but you can leave them out if you don't care for them.

The only thing I changed was adding a little liquid to the crockpot - apple juice, but Tiffany insists it isn't necessary.

SLOW COOKER HONEY DIJON PORK CHOPS AND APPLES (& ONIONS TOO)

1-1/2 lbs. pork chops, boneless or bone-in

5 small apples, peeled and sliced

1 onion, sliced

3 Tb. honey

1 tsp. dijon mustard

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

generous grinds of black pepper

(we put pepper on just about everything!)

1/3 c. apple juice

Place pork chops in bottom of crock. In small bowl, combine honey, dijon, salt and pepper together. Pour over apples and onions;toss to coat.  Place apples and onions on top of chops in slow cooker. 

Add apple juice. Cook 5 - 6 hours on high or 7 - 8 hours on low.

(I had thin pork chops and they were ready after 4-1/2 hours...on high).

I served it over rice.

Yield: 4 - 6 servings
