Tips and Tricks
To make the best apricot glazed pork chops in a slow cooker, here are some tips and tricks to keep in mind:- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also cook these pork chops in the oven. Simply prepare them as directed, then place them in an oven-safe baking dish and bake them at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.
- If you prefer a spicier glaze, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add some hot sauce to the glaze.
- If you like your pork chops to be a bit caramelized, you can broil them in the oven for a few minutes after they're done cooking in the slow cooker. Just make sure to keep a close eye on the pork chops so they don't burn.
- If you're short on time, you can prepare the glaze the night before and marinate the pork chops in it overnight. This will help infuse the pork chops with even more flavor.
