Crock Pot Pork and Apples

Let's end apple week with a bang by making an amazing main course in our crock pots!!  Everyone knows pork and apples are a great combo (remember this fabulous Peter Brady moment?)  Pork chops and applesauce, that swell!  Well, this isn't applesauce but the apples do get super tender and make a divine sauce with the onions.  Add a little tang with mustard and sweet with brown sugar and it's the perfect entree!  Enjoy!

Crock Pot Pork and Apples (adapted from sites.google.com/site/jenniferaweber)

1 T. brown sugar
1 T. grainy mustard
2 lb. boneless pork loin cut into 6 even chops (you can also leave the pork loin whole and just shred it when it's done cooking)
Salt and pepper
3 apples, cored and sliced (I left the skin on)
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
Chopped parsley for garnish (if desired)

Place the brown sugar and mustard in a small bowl and stir to combine and make a paste.  Spread the mixture evenly over each pork chop, covering both sides of each chop.  Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and place in a 4 or 6 qt. crock pot that has been sprayed with cooking spray.  Add the onions and apples on top of the pork chops, spreading evenly.  Season the apples and onions with salt and pepper, cover and cook on high for 2-4 hours or on low for 4-6 hours.
