Slow cooker Apple braised pork chops

6 thin cut pork chops (I prefer sirloin)
2 teaspoons garam masala
Salt

3 teaspoons Vegetable oil divided
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup brandy
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon butter
2 small onions thinly sliced
4 tart apples,peeled and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
Splash of cider vinegar

Season both sides of the pork with garam masala and salt. Slice onions and peel and cube apples. Add cider vinegar to the apples to prevent browning. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a stainless steel sauté pan until smoking. Sear 3 pork chops, 3 min per side. Place pork chops in your slow cooker, Deglazed the pan with wine and pour the reduced wine over pork chops. Wipe out skillet well and sear the other 3 pork chops using another teaspoon of oil. Place them in the slow cooker.

Add butter and remaining teaspoon of oil to skillet, add onions, season with salt, cook the onions over medium until golden. Deglaze with chicken stock and add the apples. Cook until the apples are caramelized and golden. Deglaze with brandy and flambé the onions and apples. Pour over the pork chops and add a handful of golden raisins or dried cranberries.

Cook on high for 3-4 hours. Pour off juices and remove fat with a fat separator. Thicken the gravy slightly with a roux and add a tiny bit of orange zest to finish.. Season as needed. Serve pork with the apples spooned over top with some wild rice.
