Crockpot Pork chops and Apples

The apples do fall apart into a kind of applesauce for the pork so you can peel the apples if you like it better that way. I like to shred the pork to soak up the extra sauce when I eat it. Yummy over brown rice.

6 boneless pork loin chops
3-4 medium Golden Delicious apples, sliced
4 tbl brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt (optional)

Place apples over the pork in crockpot, sprinkle remaining ingredients over the top. Cook on low 6-8 hours.

Fresh Apple Cake

Paula Deen's recipe and it got a ton of great reviews online. It was amazing. Maggie loved it and so did I. Don't believe the reviews that say you can skip the sauce - it is too yummy to leave out if you are going to be eating cake anyway.

Cake

Butter, for greasing pan
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1/4 cup orange juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups peeled and chopped apples
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Sauce
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat the oven to 325. Generously grease a 9x13 pan.

For the cake: in a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, oil, orange juice, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and vanilla extract; and mix well. Fold apples, coconut, and pecans into batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 1 hours.

Shortly before the cake is done, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a large saucepan, stir in the sugar, buttermilk, and baking soda, and bring to a good rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Pour the sauce over the hot cake in the pan as soon as you remove it from the oven. Let stand 1 hour, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
