Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in pork chops about 1.5–2 lbs total
  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 2 apples cored and sliced
  • 1 small onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water optional, for thickening

Method
 

  1. Pat chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Layer onions and apple slices in the crockpot.
  2. Place pork chops on top. Sprinkle brown sugar and thyme over everything. Pour apple cider around, not directly over chops.
  3. Cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 2.5–3 hours, until pork reaches 145°F and apples are soft.
  4. If you want a sauce, remove chops, whisk cornstarch into cider in a small bowl, stir into crockpot, then cook on HIGH 10–15 minutes until thickened. Return chops and serve.
