Crock Pot Golden Glow Pork Chops

I love my crock pot…a little bit of work in the morning and when I come home from work…dinner is ready for me :)

5 to 6 pork chops
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
8 oz can tomato sauce
29 oz can peach halves
1/4 cup vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Brown pork chops.  Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, tomato sauce, 1/4 cup syrup from peaches and vinegar.  Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper.  Arrange in crock pot.  Place drained peach halves on top.  Pour tomato mixture over all.  Cover and cook on low in crock pot 4 to 6 hours.

Apple Crisp

I kinda love that this is done in a crock pot!  A very simple recipe but the nuts and spices really work well together in this one!

6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples

2 tsp lemon juice

1/3 cup walnuts

1 1/3 cups uncooked quick oats

½ cup all purpose flour

½ cup packed light brown sugar

½ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp ground ginger

¼ tsp salt

Dash ground nutmeg

Dash ground cloves

¼ cup cold butter, cut into small pieces

1. Spray crock pot with nonstick cooking spray.  Place apples in medium bowl.  Sprinkle with lemon juice; toss to coat.  Add nuts and mix well.  Transfer to crock pot.
2. Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg and cloves, if desired, in medium bowl.  Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Sprinkle oat mixture over apples; smooth top.  Cover; cook on low 4 hours or on high 2 hours or until apples are tender.
