This is like the best of both worlds. Most people need applesauce for their pork chops, and this just makes it easier!

When I was a kid pork chops and applesauce was a popular dinner. I’ll have to try this slow cooker version. Looks delish!

No matter how many times I have tried, it seems I just can’t get pork chops flavored just right in the crock pot. I have pinned this though because I have not tried this yet! Willing to try it because we love pork chops!
