These pork chops were fabulous! Thank you for the outstanding recipe!
Could I do this with a pork tenderloin or pork loin?
Hi Traci,
I haven’t ever tried it with those cuts, I suspect the apples and onions might become a little more mushy than with the pork chops. Let me know if you try it and how it goes.

The printed recipe says granny smith apples, but the apples shown in the pictures are red. Does the variety of apple matter?
The printed recipe says four hours on low, but the captions above say four hours on high. This would seem to be more important than what kind of apples are used.
Adam,
Thanks for your question. Any kind of apple will work for this recipe.
Best,
~Jamie
