By á-46

Pork chops and apples complement each other nicely, and this dish adds raisins and a tangy brown sugar sauce to the mixture. Also, it's a very easy recipe with only 6 ingredients plus salt.

Apples and raisins bring out the flavor of the pork chops in this slow cooker recipe, but feel free to replace the raisins with dried cranberries.

Ingredients

• 6 pork loin chops, about 1-inch thick
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• salt
• 6 tart apples, such as Granny Smith, cored and thickly sliced
• 1/4 cup currants or raisins, optional
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Trim the pork chops and discard any excess fat.

Heat the oil a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear, turning to brown both sides.

Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and place them in the slow cooker; combine remaining ingredients and pour over the pork chops.

Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours, or on high 3 to 4 hours.
