Preparation

Step 1

Preparation

Trim the pork chops and discard any excess fat.

Heat the oil a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear, turning to brown both sides.

Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and place them in the slow cooker; combine remaining ingredients and pour over the pork chops.

Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours, or on high 3 to 4 hours.

Serves 6.

Tips and Variations
Replace the currants or raisins with dried cranberries.

When the pork chops are done, remove them with the apples and raisins to a plate and keep warm. Put the liquids in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue boiling until the liquids are reduced and the flavors are concentrated.
