Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 medium apples, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Place the pork chops in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the pork chops.
  4. Arrange the sliced apples on top of the pork chops.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the pork is tender.
  6. Remove the pork chops carefully. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the apples and simmer the liquid on the stovetop until reduced.
  7. Serve the pork chops topped with the apples and sauce.

Notes

  • For best results, use bone-in pork chops as they tend to remain more moist during slow cooking.
  • If the sauce seems too thin after cooking, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the hot liquid in the slow cooker before serving.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or roasted green beans.
