Sweet 'n Spicy Pork Chops

entrees

This is a dish that we just made on one of our 'Football Sundays' at home. It's a crockpot dish that's super easy to make, and we actually used frozen pork chops, which turned out to be perfectly fine because you're slow cooking them for so long. Jessica said it was one of her favorite meals we'd had in a long time, which was quite a compliment considering she doesn't normally like pork chops. We served it with sautéed veggies and fried polenta but you can use pretty much anything you like. Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

2-4 lean pork chops
1-2 apples, thinly sliced
3 tbsp brown sugar
~1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint, roughly chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup lemon juice
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1
Combine all ingredients in a crockpot and cook on low temperature for about 5 hours. Stir occasionally and flip the pork chops once around the half-way point.
