Spoon jarred apple pie filling and these 4 ingredients over pork chops into a slow cooker for a comforting meal people always come back to

If your family prefers less sweetness, use only half the can of apple pie filling and add an extra 1/4 cup of applesauce plus a splash of chicken broth to thin the sauce. For a little more fall spice, add 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or a pinch of cloves along with the cinnamon. If you don’t have boneless pork chops, bone-in chops work too—just add about 30 minutes to the cook time on LOW. For picky eaters who don’t like visible chunks of apple, lightly mash the apple pie filling with a fork before mixing it with the other ingredients so it becomes more of a smooth sauce. You can also stir in 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard or apple cider vinegar if you like a sweet-tangy flavor instead of straight sweetness. To make it feel a bit “fancier” for company, garnish the finished dish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or thinly sliced green onions right before serving.
