We really enjoyed the flavors in this dish. I cooked as posted. I did use thin chops so added them after 15 mins of cooking time. The apples and potatoes come out so tender. I have to agree with some of the other reviewers that you can't taste the sage. I cut the recipe in half and used an 8X8 size pan. Thanks for posting. :)

I cut the recipe in half for 2 of us & that worked out just fine! As long as I can get unblemished yams I don't like peeling them so didn't for this recipe either! And, I quickly browned the chops before putting the casserole together & also used a very generous rounded measure of sage ~ It all came together for A VERY TASTY MAIN DISH! Thanks much for a very nice keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Stars]

The apple/sweet potato combo was perfect. I could not taste the sage, so next time I plan on doubling it. This would be good with thyme also. This was easy to put together. Thanks for sharing:) Made for the March Herb/Spice of the Month--SAGE tag.

Tagged for 1-2-3 Tag Feb 08 I must say I wasn't sure how the potatoes and the apples would blend but they came out great together. I used 3/4 in pork chops with bone in and pork butt steaks 3/4 inch. I breaded my pork chops lightly with italian bread crumbs( to keep n moisture) It killed me not to add garlic but I did not. The flavors melded into the pork and gave a sense of sweetness to them which I loved. The whole family enjoyed dinner. I did have 1 the next day for lunch and microwaved it for 2 min. along with the apple and sweet potato. YUMMY th 2nd day as well. Next time though I will seperate the apple/potatoe from teh meat as the nuker did overcook them a bit in the reheat. I will make these again and again and also sending recipe to DD. YUM Thank you.

Make sure you use thick cut pork chops. Ours were thin and they weren't very juicy. The apples and the sweet potatoes were cooked excellent though. I think next time I will cover the dish while it bakes.
