Crockpot Apple Butter Pork Chops

These crockpot apple butter pork chops are fall on a plate. Bone-in pork chops are seared for flavor, then slow-cooked with sliced onions, apples, and a tangy apple butter sauce until tender and juicy. It’s sweet, savory, and incredibly cozy—perfect over mashed potatoes, rice, or straight from the crock with a fork. This one’s made for chilly nights and minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds bone-in pork chops
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 ½ cups apple butter
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 apples sliced

Instructions

  • Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter, and give the pork chops a quick sear—just enough to get a little golden color, not to cook them through.
  • Transfer the pork chops to your slow cooker and scatter the sliced onion over the top.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the apple butter and apple cider vinegar, then pour it right over the pork chops and onions.
  • Tuck the apple slices around the pork chops—don’t worry about being precise.
  • Pop the lid on and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4, until the pork is tender and everything smells like fall.
  • Serve over rice or mashed potatoes and spoon that sweet, savory sauce over the top.
