Instructions

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
Spread the sliced apples and onions evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.
Arrange the pork chops on top of the apple and onion layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then pour the mixture over the pork chops.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours, until the pork is tender and cooked through.
Optional: For a thicker sauce, transfer the pork chops to a plate. Stir the cornstarch and water together, then mix it into the cooking liquid. Cover and cook on high for about 5 minutes, or until thickened.
Serve the pork chops with the apples and onions spooned over the top, using the sauce as desired.

Notes

For best results, use tart apples like Granny Smith for a good balance of flavor.
Check the pork chops towards the end of cooking to ensure they are not overcooked.
