Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork loin chops (about 1 inch thick)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 small shallot
- 1 large Pink Lady or Fuji apple
- Cooked grits or buttered rice, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Lay the pork chops on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle both sides of each chop with salt and pepper. Put the flour on a small plate. Coat both sides of the chops with the flour and put back on the baking sheet to come to room temperature while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Add the mustard, honey and 1 tablespoon of water to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker and stir to combine. Cut the shallot into rings and add to the cooker, separating the rings. Core and cut the apple into 1/2-inch chunks and add to the cooker with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine the shallots and apples with the sauce. Spread the mixture in an even layer and lay the pork chops on top, overlapping as needed.
- Cover and cook on low until the pork is cooked through, about 3 hours. Transfer the chops to a large plate and top with the warm apples and sauce. Serve with creamy grits or buttered rice if desired.

Reviews
The first time, I made this recipe exactly as written and it was AMAZING!! But since everyone was fighting over the apples, I started using two apples rather than one. This addition does not throw of the balance of flavors at all so if you need more apple, go for it! My whole family loves this dish
Great
This recipe was simple and delicious. I browned the chops first and then baked them in the same pan that I used for growing (with a lid). Definitely recommend and I will be making this recipe again. Delicious flavors.
I’ve been making a similar recipe for years. I use pork chops, polish sauerkraut (with caraway seeds), salt pork, and cooking apples. It’s always a hit.
We like this recipe- I have tried it with no flour or some flour and if I use flour I then brown the chops a little then put back into the crock pot. A solid, delicious recipe.
Delicious! I was I bit worried because I only had spicy mustard but this dish was really good . I served it with wild rice and broccoli.
What can I use instead of the apple and the shallots
Just Okay. The flavor was good, but the pork was dry. I added a heaping Tablespoon of Dijon, on top of the whole grain mustard, plus I added an extra Tablespoon of honey. A nice flavor, but it would probably be better starting on the stove, and moving to the oven, so as not to over cook the pork loin chop, which is lean to begin with. Nice, but I won’t be making them again.
This recipe is a WINNER both in flavor and simplicity! The meat is certainly not “gray”, as someone stated. The flavor was amazing! I used a whole grain Dijon mustard and it was perfect. Make it exactly as they say. Because they sprinkle the salt over the apples before mixing all together, the salt draws out moisture. There is ample sauce to spoon over the meat with the apples and shallot rings and the grits (or rice, if you prefer). Grits are so delicious! If you like polenta, you should like grits. Grits are made from white corn and polenta is made from yellow corn. Flavor them like you would polenta. I made it for my sister and husband as well and they raved about it as well!
This dish on its own was different. It wasn’t that tasty or exciting. Bummer because I like apples and pork together. I don’t understand flouring the pork chops and not browning them. So I’ll try it again but I’ll brown them and see what happens. I did rice because I don’t like grits. I’m willing to give it another go. Thank you!!
