Ingredients
- 3 boneless thick-cut pork chops
- 3 Granny Smith apples cored and sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the thick-cut chops with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly on both sides of the chops.
- Core and slice the Granny Smith apples. Place them in a small bowl and add the brown sugar and cinnamon. Toss until the apples are coated evenly.
- Arrange the seasoned pork chops in the bottom of the crockpot and then place the coated apple slices over the pork chops.
- Pour the chicken broth on top of the apples and pork chops. This will help keep everything moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 4-6 hours. Alternatively, you can cook the boneless pork chops on high for 2-3 hours.
- The apple pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
- Once cooked, serve the slow cooker pork chops with freshly cut apples on the side. Spoon some of the flavorful sauce from the slow cooker over the pork chops for extra flavor.

Notes
- Evenly Coat the Apples: Make sure to evenly coat the apple slices with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture to ensure every bite is sweet and flavorful.
- Adjust Seasonings to Taste: Taste the seasoning mixture before adding it to the pork chops to adjust the flavors according to your preference.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh, crisp apples for the best texture and flavor in the dish.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Check the crockpot pork chops periodically to avoid overcooking. Your tender pork will become dry if it's cooked for too long.
- Thicken the Sauce: You can thicken the sauce by transferring it to a saucepan after cooking and simmering it over medium heat until it reaches your desired consistency.
