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?
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.
