Needed a quick way to cook tender pork chops and this method did it! It took about 10 minutes and my husband and 6-year-old daughter fought over the leftovers!
3.30.19 I just knew this was going to be good, and I wasn't wrong. By all means, remove the chops from the pot after cooking is complete, and thicken the juices for an an awesome gravy/sauce. Apple juice and dry onion soup mix, what's not to like here, just knew it would be outstanding? I used boneless chops that were about 3/4" thick and threw in a few chunked gold yukon potatoes that cooked up beautifully. The only deviation from the recipe was that I seared the chops right at the beginning using the Sauté function for about 2 minutes per side just to get some color (for better eye appeal/presentation) and certainly would do that again. Very nice, tasty, and very easy dinner.

I made this recipe. I didn't love it. I'm new to the IP community. And, I need to try this one, again. I didn't follow the direction, completely, which changed the outcome. The chops were tasty. I will give this one another try.
Very Good will make again I did change it slightly. I used a crock pot. Made 6 chops. Only used 2 Tbsp butter. At the end I removed the chops and thickened the liquid with some flour. I then put the chops back for another 20 min. Served over white rice. Delicious
Chops tasted great, but were a bit tough. I think that may have been my fault, though. Though I did not substitute or leave anything out, I bought bone-in traditional chops one would use for frying instead of boneless. And, I wasn't sure about laying them in apple juice so I put them on a trinket with the juice under the chops. My wife told me if I'd set them in the juice it would have tenderized them. So, next time, I leave out the trinket and use boneless chops. Again, the taste was really, really good!
I made it once, and substituted cranberry juice. It was great. The only problem was I cooked it too long and it was a teensie bit dry. But so good that I am trying again tonight, with cranberry juice, and less time. This is a great recipe!! Thanks!
Simple recipe that turned out amazing! I browned my pork chops on saute mode in instant pot. As I did not have apple juice on hand I used cranberry juice. I did everything else according to recipe and it turned out so wonderful! Took the pork chops out and made a gravy with the juices left behind and served with mashed potatoes and green beans... YUM!

Easy to make, and easily the best pork chops I've ever made. Very tender, nice flavor. Everyone liked them!
Delicious. I threw in a handful of cut up potatoes. Removed everything then put it on saute and thickened the sauce! You have to make the sauce! It's was wonderful! My husband loved it too!
Very simple, but came out great. I threw in a few golden potatoes that also tasted good. I wish it told how to thicken the juices in the pot to make better gravy.
The only thing I did differently was to add some chopped onion. I used golden onion Lipton soup. It is an easy delicious meal. Will definitely make again. It is especially going into my fall cooking menu because of the hint of apple flavoring. Loved the gravy over mashed potatoes ! Thank you for a delicious easy meal.
Delicious & we love it. I used the base recipe and added sliced can mushrooms, cubed potatoes,sliced onions and a little chili power for a kick.I browned the chops a little on each side,took them out and sauteed the veggies. Gravy was very good, had to thicken it with corn starch. Will be making this again.
Very good! I made minor changes. I sautéed the chops in the Instant Pot. Used pineapple juice instead of apple (because that's what I had on hand!) Added 1/4 tsp Kitchen Bouquet to the sauce to make a darker gravy, thickened it with a tbs of flour dissolved in a little water. I also cooked some sliced carrots in with the chops. A keeper!
Pork chops were tender and moist. I was surprised how good they tasted. This recipe is a keeper
Quick, easy, and tasty. I used fresh boneless pork chops but they ended up a bit dry. 4 min would probably be fine. Definitely thicken the sauce to spoon over.
Very tasty and simple. I would stick to the recommendation for cook time of 15 min. My instant pot was preprogrammed to cook it 35 minutes and it was a bit dry.
I just reviewed this very good recipe last night. My husband, not a fan of pork at all, enjoyed it and loved how TENDER our boneless ribeye pork chops were. This morning I was wondering if this recipe, as written, might be doable with pork shoulder steaks, seared for several minutes on each side, but pressured cooked on HIGH for 25 minutes, not 5 minutes. Think it’d work, anyone
Made it for the first time tonight. There's no mention of thickening the liquid. The picture shown doesn't look anything like my finished product. Maybe it was just assumed that people would thicken it. The first time I make a new recipes I follow the directions exactly. I will tweak it next time. On the good side the meat was very tender and it was very flavorful.
It was quick and tasty. The chops were pretty good size and overlapped, so next time I would go 6-7 minutes on the cook time.
I'm new to Instant Pot cooking and realizing that if you have fatty meat you need to separate the juices at the end of cooking and before making gravy. I poured the liquid into my fat separator and then stirred it back in with cornstarch to thicken it a bit. I also made my own onion soup mix with recipe below. Nice taste.
Easy, tasty way to make pork chops. I took mine directly from the freezer, and into the pot! added 10 minutes to the cook time and they were perfect! I added 4 small garden potatoes and they absorbed the onion soup mix flavor and were delicious with butter.
Was good. All I had was pineapple juice. Worked really well. It made a lot of liquid, so I mixed water and corn starch and made gravy.
This was pretty good and a great recipe for anyone just starting to use their instant pot. I think that if i were to try this again I might make the soup mix that way I can control the seasoning. Overall 5 stars for ease of the recipe and 3.5 for taste.
It was tough and dry. I used thick cut bone in and adjusted cooking time accordingly. Probably won’t make again.
my husband loved it but it was kinda salty for me. will try again with homemade soup mix with less salt. and there wasn't much gravy so ill try adding more so there's enough to add over mashed potatoes. overall great recipe and we will be having it again.
This turned out very tasty! I gave it 4 stars because I used center cut pork chops and they were kind of dr as usual. And I did not have Lipton onion mix so I substituted Knorr garden vegetable soup mix packet, and a small can of sliced mushrooms and some tiny carrots. I thickened sauce with cornstarch afterward. Served over chops and rice. Turned out DELICIOUS!
My husband and I really enjoyed this easy tasty dish. I browned the chops in the instant pot first then added some carrots, Lipton’s Savory Herb and Garlic dry soup mix and the apple juice. I cooked them on high pressure for 10 mins because my chops were quite thick. After cooking I thickened the sauce with a corn starch and water slurry then served them with mashed potatoes. The meal was really good. Thanks for such an easy week day dinner.
I made this with thin boneless pork chops, cooking in the instant pot for 4 minutes, then doing natural release, and it turned out perfect. All three kids loved it, and had seconds. I thought I would have a couple of pork chops leftover for lunch the next day, but they ate it all! Because of it’s simplicity I will definitely make this again.
I used dried apricots in a sweet honey barbaque sauce instead of the onion soup mix. The meat was tender and delicious. I will be making it again.
We love these. I use a thicker boneless chops and cook for 12 minutes.
Delicious. The gravy is incredible. Did not make any changes. Served it with mashed potatoes and green beans.
Mine did not make a gravy but the juice was very good. I substituted cranberry juice since I didn't have apple juice. I will use cranberry juice again, it is awesome. I also added big chunks of carrots so I had a veggie, as well.
