"This is a very tasty but simple and quick dinner for two. Easily done on a week night. I use the small loin center cuts which cook real quick, but you can also use something like a butterfly chop."

These were very easy and surprisingly very good. I think it is important not to overcook the pork chop. My husband loved them. I did not have apple brandy, but used cherry brandy instead. Will save this recipe.

These are good! I doubled the recipe but otherwise made as is using boneless center cut chops. This was very quick to make, quicker than I expected as it was done a few minutes before DH was home from work...it worked out well, once I took it off the heat and covered the sauce thickened up nicely and gave the chops a chance to soak of some of the sauce. Made for ZWT6-Germany.

We enjoyed this recipe, the pork chops turned out nice and tender and the sauce was quite good. Quick and easy. Next time I might leave out the raisin, but I think that is a personal perference. Thanks for a great recipe.

I love trying new dishes. For me, food is a way of experiencing the world without leaving my home, and I'm hoping that as my two sons get older that I can convince them to come with me on my culinary adventures.
