POKE ME WITH A FORK-I THINK I'M DONE!

Does anyone remember that commercial?

The one with the line that went-

Poke me with a fork I think I'm done?

Well, I remember hearing the ad and it was

often repeated by a little neighbor boy, Brett.

Brett also carried a NAKED blond Barbie doll around 

AND he called it Mrs.Kosmoski!

SERIOUSLY!

.....and now you know my real name.....

Anyway- That might have been 

a tad too much information

so let's move along to cooking, shall we?

It's all about turkey right now

but if you are looking for an

EASY recipe to use leading up to

THANKSGIVING--

this might work!

I am basically lazy when it comes to meals.

There- I've said it.  It's true!

So, that means 

I LOVE EASY MEALS.

Does this look EASY?

Well, it is.

Brown 4 pork chops in 1 Tablespoon of butter over 

Medium-high heat.

Kinda fuzzy picture, huh? 

Hey!  You want perfect pictures?

Buy a magazine!

Or visit a blog with a better photographer.

I'll work on it.

While those are browning,

Core and slice about 5 - 6 apples.

I used 2 big Honey Crisp and 

3 or 4 Braeburns that I had.

Use more apples than you think you will want 

because they cook down.

Throw them in the crockpot.

Sprinkle heavily with cinnamon 

(or Apple Pie Spice-that's what I used)

and 1/3 cup brown sugar.

Place browned pork chops on top of apples.

Salt and pepper them to taste.

Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours.

I served ours with rice and broccoli

and coffee in a Pumpkin cup.

Trust me- there will NOT be any leftovers!

So- Here's the recipe-

Slow Cooker Pork Chops & Apples

4 boneless pork chops

4-5 large apples of choice

Cinnamon  or Apple Pie Spice

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup apple juice or apple cider.

(I used cranberry juice this time)

Salt & Pepper 

Brown pork chops over medium high heat in 1T melted butter.

Core and slice apples and toss them in crock pot.

Sprinkle with Apple Pie Spice or Cinnamon

(I would estimate I used 3 or 4 teaspoons)

Sprinkle with the brown sugar.

Pour apple juice over it.

(I didn't have any apple juice/cider so I used Cranberry juice and it was delicious)

Layer on the pork chops.

Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours.

Enjoy!

AND - if you see one of THESE lying around

naked please DO NOT call it

Mrs. Kosmoski!!!

I don't want the neighbors to talk.
