Apple Cider-Baked Pork Chops

Submitted by Michele in NJ

"The marinade for the chops also works perfectly on a pork roast or loin. This is a make the night before and cook in a hurry recipe. Great for busy nights as long as you plan ahead."

This is a great marinade - gave the chops just the right amount of flavour! I didn't find that the apple flavour was that strong - just a slight sweet taste. Because it was such a beautiful day, I cheated & did the chops on the bbq instead of in the oven. We really enjoyed this recipe!

Great flavor! I put my pork chops in the marinade last night before bed, so I just popped them in the oven for dinner today. I added a little crushed rosemary. Wonderful! I'll make these again, thanx!
