Equipment

slow cooker

Ingredients

1 lb center cut boneless pork chops or bone-in pork chops (cooking time remains the same)
1 lb apple slices
½ cup chicken broth
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup onions diced
1 clove garlic minced
⅛ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the chicken broth and worcestershire sauce. Mix and pour into the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place pork chops in the slow cooker and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the apple slices, diced onions and minced garlic on top of the pork chops. Sprinkle brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and dried thyme on top of the apples.
Set to LOW with a cooking time of 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours. Check the internal temperature of the thickest pork chop with a digital thermometer at the 3 hour mark on LOW and the 90 minute mark on HIGH. If it has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit, they are done. If not, continue to cook checking internal temperature every so often.
Remove pork chops from the slow cooker to serving plates. Serve warm with your favorite side dish.

Notes

Storing: store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.

Serving: some great sides to serve with apple pork chops are mashed garlic potatoes, air fried baby potatoes, air fryer sweet potatoes or mashed sweet potatoes.
