Tips & Tricks (5)

Apple Butter Selection 🍎
Choose a high-quality, small-batch apple butter with minimal added sugar for the most authentic and rich flavor profile in this dish.
Sear Before Slow Cooking 🔥
Always briefly sear the pork chops before placing them in the slow cooker to lock in flavor and create a beautiful caramelized exterior.
Onion Layering Technique 🧅
Create a bed of sliced onions at the bottom of the slow cooker to elevate the pork chops and prevent them from sitting directly in liquid.
Vinegar Balance Trick 💧
Use apple cider vinegar sparingly - just enough to add brightness and cut through the richness of the apple butter and pork.
Thickness Matters 🥩
Choose bone-in pork chops that are at least 1-inch thick to ensure they remain juicy during the slow cooking process.
