What's On The Menu??? 8
On Crooked Creek it's . . .
Pork Chops and Apples!!!
A few years ago, I purchased this collection of Savory Slow~Cooker Recipes, I have used several with delicious results. Today's choice was Pork Chops and Apples! Perfect for a busy work day On Crooked Creek.
My Rival Crock Pot is nearing 25 years old. I don't trust to leave it on unless I'm home.
So~o~o. . .the crock pot gets used mostly during the weekends when "Mr. Ed" and I have a full day of chores to accomplish!
Pork Chops and Apples
Ingredients:
4 pork loin chops, well trimmed
2 medium apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 teaspoon butter
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
salt
pepper
Directions:
In skillet, brown pork chops quickly: drain well.
Arrange a layer of sliced apples in slow cooker,
then a layer of pork chops; repeat.
Dot with butter, sprinkle with nutmeg.
Add salt and pepper.
Cover and cook on low setting for 7 ~ 9 hours.
Makes 4 servings.
As you can see by the photo. . .I like to adapt a recipe. . .
I put one apple sliced on the bottom of the slow cooker, salt, pepper, nutmeg and butter!
Followed by two layers of the browned pork chops.
Then topped off with the second apple slices, more salt, pepper, nutmeg and butter!
I start my crock pot recipes on high setting for the first hour, then turned it down to low for the remainder of the suggested cooking time.
As you can see . . .they look delicious!!!
I served our Pork Chops and Apples with seasoned bow tie pasta. After a busy work day On Crooked Creek this was a meal fit for royalty!
Until next time. . .

On Crooked Creek is joining our gracious hostess Yvonne @ StoneGable for On The Menu Monday! I have used many of the recipes, tips and food staging inspirations from this weekly meme. Stop by and be inspired to have some wonderful meals to share with your family, as well!
It's amazing how the cooler weather brings a desire for certain foods. We rarely have pork chops, but this is making me yearn for them and I'm sure hubby would be just thrilled to partake in such a meal! Hope you're having a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good dish for this rainy Saturday! We love pork chops!

ReplyDeletePat, aren't we lucky someone invented the good old crock pot? Ours is used quite often for a variety of delicious meals. Your apples and pork sounds very good. We had cooked apples for lunch today and they were good, also.
