Apple Pecan Pork Chops

Submitted by LilPinkieJ

"Yum. Apples and pork chops. If you don't have the apple brandy, you can substitute with apple juice. This makes a wonderful sauce, and I like to serve it with plain white rice."

Insanely delicious! On the sweet side though.

Thanks for a wonderful recipe, Jess ~ THESE CHOPS ARE GREAT TASTING! I purchased some apple brandy just for this recipe & am glad I did, 'cause it added a very nice touch to the whole dish! Will certainly be making this one again! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]

This is a very yummy dish. I used apple cider in place of the brandy, and added 1 Tablespoon of corn starch to the cream before adding that to the sauce to thicken it more. I also used chives as a garnish in place of the parsley. I liked the slight onion flavor this added to the dish. Overall, very yummy. I'd make it again some day.
