INSTANT POT APPLE BUTTER PORK CHOPS

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 to 2.5 lbs boneless pork chops
salt & pepper to taste
2 Tbsp oil for sauteing (or more as needed)
1 onion chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup chicken broth
28 oz apple butter
1 cup apple sauce

Steps:

  • Salt and pepper pork chops. Turn your instant pot to on and to saute on high. Once the pot is HOT, add a couple of tablespoons of oil and brown on both sides in batches of 3 so that you don't overcrowd your pot. Add more oil to the pot as needed. Set browned chops aside in a plate. Once you have browned all of your chops, add the onions to the instant pot and saute for a couple of minutes. Add the garlic next and saute for 1 minute more, stirring constantly. Add pork chops back to the pot along with any juices that have accumulated underneath. Pour chicken broth around the chops then top chops with apple sauce and apple butter.
  • Put the lid on the instant pot and close the valve. Turn pot to manual and set it for 20 minutes. Once it gets done, let it natural release for 20 minutes. (We loved ours with a little garlic salt right before serving. SO GOOD!)
  • The leftover pork makes amazing BBQ sandwiches or BBQ topped baked potatoes. So before I put up the leftovers, I shred them up and added a tablespoon apple cider vinegar and about 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce and then use it to make bbq sandwiches or bbq topped potatoes for lunch the next day! YUM!

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
ground black pepper to taste
1 (2 1/2 pound) pork loin
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup apple cider
¼ teaspoon ground thyme
½ cup applesauce
1 medium yellow onion, quartered
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper all over the pork loin and sear in the hot oil on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove pork from the pot. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up all the browned bits so none are stuck on the bottom. Turn off Saute function.
  • Pour in apple cider and add pork loin back to the pot. Mix ground thyme into the applesauce and spread over the top and sides of the pork loin. Place onion slices around the pork loin. Close and lock the lid. Select High pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Remove pork and onion slices from the pot. Mix cornstarch with cold water in a bowl.
  • Turn on Saute function and stir cornstarch mixture into the pan juices. Bring to a boil and cook until gravy has slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve gravy with the pork loin.
