Absolutely wonderful combination of flavors! I think I would call it "Sweet & Savory Apple Pork Chops" instead of 'sour', though. I didn't have the time to prep and bake, so I just did everything on the stove top: caramelized the onion, added the apple slices, softened, added applesauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Browned the chops in a separate pan, added them into the applesauce pan and let simmer/cook until no pink. It was delicious! Thank you for introducing me to this flavor combination.... It is a definite must have from now on! -
It was really hard for me to put the soy sauce on top of the applesauce...it just seemed so wrong! However, it was REALLY good! The onions seemed like a weird choice too, but again, they were great and I'm glad I followed the recipe as it was. I do think that the 2 Tbls. of brown sugar on each chop could be a bit less, and there was no way that 1 1/2 cups of applesauce for each chop was going to fit in the pan. I used a 9 x 9 glass pan and pretty much filled it to the top with apple sauce before using all the applesauce. The only thing I would do differently the next time would be to drain the applesauce first since it was a just bit runny after cooking. All in all, I'm glad I went out of my comfort zone and made this dish! Thanks!
