Easy Crockpot Pork Chops with Apples & Sweet Potatoes
Can you smell it yet? The smell of perfectly cooked pork chops. YES! Back-to-School is on the horizon and I’m already working on our busy school night menu. Dinner can be so stressful with our family schedule! I’ve got this dinner thing under control with this Easy Crockpot Pork Chops with Apples & Sweet Potatoes. Grab that slow cooker for a delicious fall inspired family meal. Bonus, your house is going to smell ah-mazing!
My husband loves pork chops. Whenever fall comes around, he’s begging me for this Braised Pork Chops with Apples & Sweet Potatoes Recipe. Ok, maybe don’t go and look at it. This was one of my first blog recipes ever…and the pictures certainly need an upgrade. As much as he loves this meal, it’s a PAIN in the bum to make. Lots of wasted time peeling, dicing, stovetop cooking and baking in the oven — it’s no wonder why I would drag my feet to make one of his favorite dishes.
So I had to make a 21st century upgrade to the dish — aka the busy mom version. I kept the moistness of the pork chops intact, as everything simmers in sweet apple heaven. Getting the kids to eat this meal? Not a problem. Ready to make your winning gourmet meal for the busy mom (aka throwing a bunch of stuff in a pot and pushing the on button)? Let’s do this. Don’t forget the crock pot liner!
Easy Crockpot Pork Chops with Apples & Sweet Potatoes Recipe
- 6 thinly sliced pork chops
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 packet of onion soup mix
- 1 TBSP minced garlic
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 large sweet potatoes, diced
- 2 large apples - peeled, cored and diced
- Cooking Spray
- Spray slow cooker with cooking spray
- Combine apple juice, chicken broth, garlic and onion soup mix in small bowl.
- Place apples and sweet potatoes in bottom of slow cooker.
- Layer pork chops on top.
- Pour juice mixture on top.

And VOILA. Now my husband gets his juicy pork chops with a hint of fall apple sweetness with so much LESS work.
“You want pork chops for dinner, honey? Already cooking!”

September 23, 2016 at 12:03 pmDoes the sliced onion go on the bottom with the apples and potatoes or do they go on top?
christie says
September 23, 2016 at 12:41 pmRae – I did on top and bottom to evenly flavor both 🙂
Alison says
October 11, 2016 at 12:26 pmLooks delicious! Just wondering if you could sub in normal potatoes for this recipe?
christie says
October 11, 2016 at 1:54 pmHi Alison, I bet you could! The recipe would be a little sweet for regular potatoes though with the apple cider mixture. Just keep that in mind
