Farmhouse Pork and Apple Pie

"This is a remarkably tasty dish. Love to cook it in the fall. The combination of apples and pork can't be beat. It may take a little effort, but believe me it is worth it. This is a Taste of Home Recipe. Don't let the length of ingredients fool you, it's really not that bad, just assemble everthing you need first and it will go quickly. Also don't fret if you don't have an ovenproof 12 inch skillet, that just makes it more convient, just tranfer to baking dish."

  1. This is fantastic!
     
  2. This recipe was a huge hit with my family! It had a subtle sweet flavor that we really enjoyed. Even though it was a little time consuming, it was easy to prepare. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
     
  3. I found this to be just ok. I had hoped for a stronger apple taste, and I would in the future substitute apple cider for apple sauce. I also think that if you were serving hungry men that you would not get 10 servings. I would take it for 6-10 servings depending on what you were serving it with. It does take a long time but once you get it into the oven its pretty easy. I would plan on a good 1/2 hour of active working time.

I have always loved to cook. This got me into trouble with my wieght, because I loved to eat what I cooked. I am now a weight watcher, I have to lighten most recipes. My favorite cookbooks are Taste of Home & Taste of Home Light. MY pet peeve is boxed dinners. I do love simple and quick though. I have 3 grown sons, one is in last semester of college, one is married and a new baby is on the way, so I will be grandma in January. My daughter-in-law hates to cook, they order prepared food off the internet, that makes me crazy. ha. I love animals, but right now only have one dog. A bloodhound. She is so loveable, I would recommend this breed to anyone as long as you have patience, but they are one of the most loving breeds out there.My married son has 3 lab. retrievers,a baby will be easy after those 3 monsters, as I lovingly called them when they were pups. My oldest son has a Rottwieller. I have had 3 Rotts, they have all pasted, buy they are a really great breed. They are so smart and loveable, I guess that's why people who chose to make them bad, can do so, all they want to do is please their owners. My real passion is shoes, shoes, shoes. I also love jewelry, but shoes, shoes, shoes,!!!!! Update I am finally grandma to the prettiest baby girl ever. She was born on Jan. 15, her name is Mariah. She is perfect!
