Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Apple Onion Pork
Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Apple Onion Pork is a tender, cozy dinner made with bone-in pork chops, soft apples, sweet onions, and apple juice. It cooks low and slow into an easy sweet-savory meal that is delicious over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops About 1 inch thick, roughly 2 to 2 1/2 pounds total
- 2 large apples Cored and thinly sliced; peels may be left on; about 4 cups
- 2 medium yellow onions Thinly sliced; about 3 cups
- 1 cup apple juice or apple cider Plain unsweetened apple juice works well
- cooking spray For the slow cooker, or use a little oil
- salt Optional, for serving
- black pepper Optional, for serving
Instructions
- Lightly spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray, or rub it with a little oil.
- Spread the sliced yellow onions evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Layer the sliced apples evenly over the onions.
- Lay the bone-in pork chops on top of the apples and onions, nestling them down slightly without completely burying them.
- Pour the 1 cup of apple juice or apple cider evenly over the pork chops, apples, and onions.
- Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the pork is very tender and pulls easily away from the bone.
- Taste the cooking juices once the pork is done, then add a pinch of salt and black pepper at the table if needed.
- Lift the pork chops out gently, spoon the apples, onions, and pan juices over each chop, and serve hot over mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, white rice, or brown rice.
Notes
Store leftovers with the apples, onions, and cooking juices in a covered container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave, covered loosely, or in a skillet or small saucepan over low heat with some of the juices.
