You can also prepare this dish in a slow cooker. After searing the pork, combine all ingredients in a slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours.

 
 

Instructions

  1. Add oil to skillet or Dutch oven. Brown the pork chops on both sides, remove from pan.
  2. In the same pan, sauté the onions until translucent, add garlic and apples. Sprinkle flour and incorporate into any pan drippings. Deglaze pan with beer.

    I have recently discovered your web site and most importantly your recipes. It would be helpful if you would add additional information such as: Serving size, calories, and total carbohydrates. Equally helpful for persons trying to watch their weight or better trying to lose weight would be total fat content, protein, cholesterol, fiber, and sodium contents.

      Hi Nancy,

      Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, we are unable to list the calories and carbs at this time, though we do list the serving size and would love to be able to add nutrition details in the future. In the meantime, I recommend checking out a nutrition calculator tool such as http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php. You can simply paste in the ingredients and find out all the nutrition information. I’ve done it for this recipe, so I’ve included those details above. Hope this helps!
