I love pork chops. It was one of the meats that we had the most when I was a kid. Mom traditionally made them with the Shake ‘n’ Bake coating and baked them in the oven and served them with homemade applesauce. Yum. But did you know that other fruits also taste good with pork chops? This Spicy Peach Pork Chops dish that you can make in your slow cooker has a bit of sweet and savory plus just a little bit of heat to it, if you are so inclined.

The warmed peaches provide the sweetness to this dish, as they go well with the pork chops and give the tomato sauce just a kiss of something different. If you’re so inclined, you can add the cayenne pepper for just enough heat and spice to make this dish a mouth watering delight.
