My favorite season is upon us. Although it is currently 70 degrees outside I'm pretending that it's chilly and making warm, hearty fall food. Yesterday was pork chops in the crockpot. So easy and so delicious.
3-4 pork chops
6T brown sugar
2T apple cider vinegar
1t cinnamon
1t ground ginger
1/4t red pepper flakes (or more if you prefer things spicier)
1/4c dried sweetened cranberries (I love cranberries and wish I'd done more than this)
2 baking apples, cubed
Spray the crockpot with pam and lay chops on the bottom. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix together all other ingredients except apples and pour over chops. Cover with apples and cook on low for 4 hours.
This turned out so well. I was feeling particularly twee as I chopped up the apples my mother hand picked off the tree last weekend in Elijay. This would also be great if you had less time, as it was done in 3 hours. By the fourth hour, the meat was falling off the bone. I paired this with roasted green beans and mushrooms and a glass of white wine. SO GOOD.
Next time I'll try not to be so hungry by the time it's done that I forget to take a photo before I inhale it.
