INSTANT POT APPLE BUTTER PORK CHOPS

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!
