Pork Chops And Apples

This is my favourite recipe for pork chops and apples. Like it so much I served it to my mom and g-ma, and that’s saying something because those women know good food! Y’all know me, I can’t leave well enough alone so I included the original recipe from Taste Of Home. Gonna tell y’all what I did differently, this recipe is really flexible.

It’s D and me, I used 3 pork chops which makes one for each of us and 1 for him at work tomorrow. Always use all the apple cider, used yellow mustard which is what I had and a regular onion. One apple was enough for the smaller supper, and I always use cranberries instead of currants. they’re done at the 18 minutes, but I simmer them for 30 minutes because it makes them nicer.
