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!

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.

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.

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!
