I needed to do something a bit different than my usual breading-and-sautee-in-olive-oil method for some boneless pork chops I had. The hardest part was all the chopping required, but once that's done it's fairly easy to prepare. It's also delicious! My boyfriend said he could smell me cooking all the way down the hall of our building as he came home, and that the wonderful smell came from our apartment. This would make a great fall meal, especially as it would take advantage at an abundance of apples and cider. Totally worth a try. -
I made the recipie exactly as shown and it is delicious. Reminded me of a good German restaurant. I would use a large onion since the carmenlized onions were delicious with the apples. I would halve the dijon mustard (just my taste). This would go great with a tart German Riesling. This is pretty filling, especially served with mashed potatos. -
I made this with two thicker chops and cooked them for longer. I made the full amount of sauce but reduced it till it was quite thick and concentrated. It was absolutely delicious and DH commented how good it was on the first mouthful. Great recipe, thank you. -
I needed to do something different with some gorgeous, thick-cut, boneless pork chops. I couldn't bear the thought of my husband throwing them on the grill, smothering them with BBQ sauce. I did get the real maple syrup(ouch! it's a lot of $$$), but as you said, it was so worth it. My one son, who is becoming quite the discerning palette person, gave it rave reviews, and continued to eat, until my husband reminded him there were seven other people who were waiting to get some! I guess I'll have to keep him out of my kitchen until dinner's done! I served simple buttered noodles and a green salad with it, and it was PLENTY. Very hearty. We truly did enjoy this, and I shall use it often in the future. Thanks for posting! -
Yum! I don't usually care for pork chops but wanted to try something different. This was the first time I have tried a recipe that wasn't already rated and I was thrilled I took the chance. Followed the recipe exactly except I only used two apples, which was plenty for hubby and I. Very easy to make, too.
