  1. This was a very tasty recipe.. I altered it a little: I used freshly diced apples (Fuji Apples) with the apple juice.. to which the apple juice was absorbed completely into the apples. I filled the pan with approx 1/4 inch of apple juice, that the pork chops cooked in the oven with.
     
  2. Really enjoyed these fruity and nutty chops. Requires plenty seasoning inside and outside, in our opinion.
     
  3. Made this for 2 of us, so I used just 3 large chops, but did do a full amount of the stuffing! Also used some very flavorful dried Fuji apples instead of the somewhat tasteless ones from Sun-Maid, & we had a really outstanding supper, thanks to your recipe!

  4. Turned out moist and very tasty. I did four large four chops, doubled the stuffing and it balanced out perfectly. Used Amaretto instead of white wine because that's what I had on hand. Definantly an adult recipe.
     
  5. This meal had an elegant feel to it, as I do not usually stuff meat except for holidays. DH and I thought it was excellent! 14 yr. old son did not care for it as much and that's okay cause some things are for the more cultured adult taste. I am still giving this a 5-star (but may not be a kid pleaser).
