Instant Pot Apple Pork Chops are a Delicious Way to Get Dinner on the Table Quickly! They Are Tender, Juicy, and Have a Savory-Sweet Flavor Your Family will Love.

We love Instant Pot Pork recipes! Some of our favorites include Super Easy Instant Pot Ham and Instant Pot Pork Roast and Gravy.

 INSTANT POT APPLE PORK CHOPS

Pork and apples are kind of the perfect combination. The mild sweetness of the apples just goes so well with the savory flavor of the pork chops!

When you put them together in the Instant Pot, this combination is simply amazing. Pressure cooking cooks the chops quickly and seals in the moisture as well as intensifying the savory-sweet goodness of the apple “gravy.” It’s a meal your whole family will love!

WILL THE PORK CHOPS STAY JUICY?

Pork chops can be tough to make in the oven, since they tend to get tough or dry out. That’s why I love making them in the Instant Pot! A quick sear gives these chops an amazing flavor, and the quick cooking time keeps them moist, delicious, and juicy. The delicious apple sauce finishes off the dish!

DOES IT MATTER WHAT KIND OF APPLE I USE?

You can choose your apples according to the flavors your family will love. I recommend using an apple that is somewhat firm, perhaps a Red Delicious or Honeycrisp. If your family likes the tartness of Granny Smith apples, those would also be a good choice. (The tartness will intensify in the Instant Pot though, so you might want to use a combination!)

WILL INSTANT POT APPLE PORK CHOPS FREEZE WELL?

These pork chops will freeze well! If your family is anything like mine, you probably won’t have enough leftovers to freeze, but you can do so. I would recommend adding a bit of apple juice or stock when you reheat them though, since pork can tend to dry out a bit.

I hope your family loves this dish as much as mine does! It’s a great menu option all year long, and it’s easy enough to make even on busy weeknights. Enjoy!

Happenings From Our Family of 9

Last week was our towns annual festival.  The kids enjoyed going to the carnival and seeing the parade.  The parade was on Saturday and it lasts over one and a half hours.  It is generally cold or mild at best for the end of October parade, but this year it was extremely hot.  The temperature was only in the upper 70’s, but the sun was really hot with no wind.  We all still enjoyed ourselves despite the heat.  Pictured is my three youngest on a merry go round earlier in the week!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
