Prepare to make slow cooker pork chops with apple cranberry stuffing.

Use a box of stuffing mix; the creator uses stove top stuffing mix for pork.

Add 1 cup of chicken broth to the stuffing mix.

Add 1/2 cup of chopped onions to the mix.

Add 1 cup of chopped celery to the mix.

Add 1 cup of dried cranberries to the mix, noting that they were supposed to be dried cherries.

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.

Slice two small apples and one big apple, wash and peel them before slicing.

Add the sliced apples to the stuffing mixture and stir.

Season 2 lbs of boneless pork loin chops with salt and pepper on both sides.

Place the pork chops in the bottom of the slow cooker, using a crock pot liner for easy cleanup.

Add more salt and pepper on top of the pork chops.

Pour the stuffing apple mixture on top of the pork chops in the slow cooker.

Cover the slow cooker and set it to low, cooking for 3 to 4 hours until the pork is done at 145°F.

After cooking, let the pork chops set for about 15 minutes before plating.

Plate the pork chops and try them, noting that they are tender and come apart easily.

Taste the stuffing and comment on how good it is.
