There is something about apple season and pork cooking low and slow that feels like a Midwestern kitchen at its very best. These slow cooker 3-ingredient apple butter pork chops are the sort of no-fuss supper that turns a few pantry staples into a tender, richly glazed meal with hardly any hands-on work. Apple butter brings deep sweetness and spice, and when it mingles with the pork juices all afternoon, it makes a dark, sticky sauce that tastes like you worked far harder than you did.
Serve these pork chops with mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or plain white rice to catch every bit of that apple butter sauce. A side of green beans, roasted carrots, or simple fried apples fits right in, and if you want a true orchard-season plate, a scoop of applesauce and a square of warm cornbread make it feel complete.
