I love cooking easy recipes for my family.

To save my sanity, time and money, I do weekly meal planning to get dinner on the table for our family. Let’s face it, our kids do not want a gourmet meal, they just want time together around the table.

This crockpot recipe is a for sure crowd pleaser. I love recipes using apple butter  so this seemed like the perfect dinner for my family.

This recipe defines the smell of fall comfort food. My house smelled amazing while this was cooking in the crockpot last week.

Recently we went on a field trip with our twins’ Mothers Day Out group. The trip took us to a local apple orchard here in the metroplex. We picked apples, learned about honey and bees and purchased some apple butter.

Other than eating it on warm biscuits, I had no idea how I was going to utilize this delicious jar of goodness.   So I reached out to my Facebook readers for some ideas and they shared plenty.

And that my friend, is where the idea for this recipe came from. And of course, I wanted to crockpot-it! It just makes life easier, ya know.

Ingredients:

• 6 pork chops (I used thick center cut)
• 1/2 a large onion chopped
• minced garlic (I used 2 large spoonfuls of minced garlic from a jar)
• 3/4 cup apple butter
• couple cracks of pepper

Arrange your pork chops in the crockpot.

Top the pork chops with the onions and garlic.

Spoon the apple butter on top of the onions.

(If you want more amplified apple flavor in your pork chops, you can reverse the order of the onions/garlic/apple butter and spoon the apple butter directly on the pork chops and then top the apple butter with the garlic and onions.)

Crack some pepper over top and put the crockpot lid on.

Let it cook for 4-6 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low.

When it is done, give the pork chops a stir and they will literally fall apart into chunks on their own.

I served them over steamed rice with a dinner salad and steamed broccoli.

Delicious.
