  1. Kree, this is a very nice dish! Your instructions are great; the recipe is simple and to the point; very easy to prepare, too. I used boneless chops and Northern Spy apples. I don't keep apple juice in the house, so I just used the water. Next time I will try chicken broth, as I found the sauce a little plain. However, it was not too sweet; it was perfect for my family's tastes. I took your advice and, when the chops came out of the oven, I carefully placed them on a platter with the apples atop, then poured the liquid into the same pan I had used to brown the chops, which I had set aside. A little cornstarch-water mixture thickened the sauce right up, which I served in a gravy boat for those that wanted it. I'll definitely make this recipe again!
     
  2. Kree, gee I feel bad giving this 4*'s after all the 5's, but 4 in my book is very good. I thought this was really very good, but just a touch too sweet for my personal perference. It was very easy to prepare and it did have a very good taste. The pork was done perfectly and the apples were nice and tender. I will make it again and reduce the brown sugar for my taste.
     
  3. Delicious, easy to make, moist Pork chops. I didn't have apple juice, was great without it, but will try it next time. Bet it would be a great way to fix ham. Kree, thanks for posting.
     
  4. I agree that this was a great pork chop recipe. My chops came out very moist and tender. I omitted the oil however when I browned the chops. I'm going to try this with ham steaks. Can't wait.
     
  5. Great comfort food! This was very easy to make and best of all my husband really liked it! The only alteration I made was substituting apple juice for the water. This is definitely a keeper...thanks Kree for sharing!

Tweaks

  1. Turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly, pretty much. I used apple juice instead of water, and thickened the sauce at the end with some flour and a pat of butter. I will definitely make this again. This was also good to let my 4 year old help to cook. He helped me layer on the apples and pour the sauce over top. I should note that the cooking time listed was a touch too long for me, I should have taken it out 5 to 10 minutes earlier.
     
  2. This recipe was fantastic. Very easy and the cooked apples made it seem like we had warm, homemade apple sauce with the chops. I substituted apple juice for the water. Will definitely make this again.

  4. THIS WAS SOOOO GOOD! Everyone should try this one. As suggested, I used cornstarch to thicken and it made a wonderful sauce to cover the chops. Next time I will try Denise's suggestion and use apple juice instead of water just to see if that could make these even better! Thanks so much Kree for a great recipe!
     
  5. This is my favorite Pork Chop recipe. I've made this many times and I do make one substitution. I use concentrated apple juice in place of the water. This is fantastic on a cold fall evening with a side dish of stuffing!
