Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Pork Chops are a delicious savory sweet meal. This retro crock pot pork chops recipe is super easy to make, and very tasty! A family favorite slow cooker pork chop dinner.
Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Pork Chops
Pork and fruit go very well together. Apples go particularly well with pork chops. That sweet & savory combination is wonderful.
What Type of Pork Chops Work Best?
I like to buy a mixed package of loin and rib chops. You can also use boneless or bone-in pork chops.
I wouldn't get them too thick though, Maybe 1 inch or so.
Do the Chops Need to be Browned First?
No they don't. They come out delicious just by adding them in as is.
This recipe is really easy to make, because there is no pre-cooking involved. Just layer in the ingredients and cook!
Favorite Apples to Use?
I prefer to use a mix of apples. Some Granny Smith, and some Fuji. That way it's not too tart.
You can use what you like, and peel them or not, it's up to you.
Layering is the key to the juiciest and most delicious pork chops.
Here's how to make them:
First, layer some of the apples and onion in the bottom of the crock. Add a little butter, some honey, and cinnamon.
Next, layer the pork chops on top of the apples. Be sure to sprinkle some salt on both sides of the chops.
Last, layer the remaining apples, onion, honey, and cinnamon on top of the pork chops.
This is such a simple yet delicious meal. The kids will love it!

Do you prefer boneless or bone in pork chops?

I like bone-in as they seem more tender to me.

I have made this 5 times now for two people. Love this recipe I added more on the seasoning and each layer 2 shakes of cayenne pepper and baby carrots . Serve with broccoli or green beans ( eating more veggies). My husband really likes this one.Reply
Kelly says
I think it made too much "juice" but it was delicious and will definitely make again!Reply
Valeree says
I poured the juice off into a saucepan heated to boil and thickened with a bit of cornstarch & water. Made a great sauce over rice and veggies.Reply
Kerri Motter says
Instead of the granny Smith apples, can I substitute with a jar of spiced apple rings?

That sounds interesting! Let me know if you try it.

I have tried this a few times-it's delicious! I tried with cinnamon but thought it was too sweet with the apples and brown sugar. I have added honey and I rub mustard on the chops with kosher salt and a bit of granulated garlic. The mustard adds some zing once all the juices begin to mingle. Great recipe!

Making this now for lunch meals this week. I added pears as well as the apples. Looking forward to the smells and lunch.Reply
Jennifer says
Pears sound delicious! Maybe I will try that the next time !

This was easy and so delicious! My family loved it and it was great for a busy weeknight. I thickened the juices with cornstarch to make a nice sauce to drizzle over everything. Will definitely make this again!Reply
Gwyn says
Can I prepare this the night before in the croc pot? Or will the apples browning mess it up? TIA!Reply
Sandy says
I haven't tried it, but an apple browning won't be an issue once it's cooked. Be sure to keep the pork at a safe temperature.

I have made this about 3 times now. On each layer I add a couple of pinches of cayenne pepper. Served with roasted potatos and green beans. Love this recipe so so easy.
