  1. Easy to make. However, I couldn't get a good-sized pocket cut in my chops, so I just butterflied and spread the mixture on top. I sed fresh pureed granny smiths I had in my fridge (that I needed to get rid of) in place of the chopped apples. I also used the fresh juice extracted for the apple juice. I didn't have oranges, so I used lemons. For the breadcrumbs, I used 2-3 toasted slices of low-cal whole-wheat bread grinded in my CuisinArt. We liked the sauce and served it over brown rice. I gave this *** because the flavor seemed to lack something. It seemed fairly bland. Perhaps it was from the lemon/orange substitution (or because I enjoy BIG, pronounced flavors)
