Great, savory recipe! I loved the flavor and tenderness; my boyfriend actually added bacon which made it even better!

I'm going to give this 3 stars because it is a good base recipe, but needs a little bit of help in the flavor department. Here's what I did to tweak it. I added a can of frozen apple juice concentrate to improve the flavor and a couple of tsps of cinnamon. I used half a can of chicken broth instead of 2 tbs of chicken soup base. I cut the pork into bites during the last half hour of cooking to give this more of a pork stew kind of feel. I also added 2 tsp of cold water to 2 tsp of cornstarch, stirred it until it was smooth and added it to the crock pot. This thickened the sauce up quite nicely. I served it over rice and my husband said it tasted like a sweet and sour pork dish. It was much better with these changes but not something that we will make again.

Decided to make this despite seeing questionable reviews. Pork is juicy but had no flavor-maybe marinating it next time would help. I would make something based on this in the future, but change it drastically.

For all of the ingredients and trouble to put this together, the end result in flavor wasn't worth it. However, the chops were tender, only because I did not brown the chops for the full 5 minutes on each side. It's better to brown for about 2 min on each side and then let them finish cooking in the crock pot. I probably will not make this one again.

I have to agree with the other people who felt this dish lacked flavor. I really thought the apple pie filling would add some great flavor to this recipe; but, it did not. I don't think we will be making this dish again.

This was a great recipe! I'm new to cooking and my boyfriend loved it! My only suggestion is that when you go to put the potatoes in - make sure to get them down in the liquid so they will cook thoroughly. As I added the potatoes I arranged it so the pork chops were on top of the potatoes. This helped cook them faster and filled them with all the flavors of the yummy juices. I've recommended this one to everyboyd I know! Thanks!

I usually dont write reviews...but this recipe was disgusting. Meat was bland and Im so upset I wasted pork chops on this. Worst recipe I have ever pulled off of this site.

this was very good and very easy to make. i added my own spices to pork chops; thyme and sage; red pepper flakes to add some heat to the sweet. next time i will do as directions say and add sweet potatoes later as they did get mushy, but still tasty.

I cooked on high for 3 hours and added the potatoes at the start. The potatoes were very soft and on the verge of disintegration. Very tasty. I also make a similar recipe using whole berry cranberry sauce instead of the canned apple
