This was easy to make. The hardest thing was keeping everyone out of the caramelized onions. I had to add more apple juice because the chops I used were 1 1/4 " thick, so I had to cook longer. I did not have heavy cream so I just used half and half. There was not a single drop of the sauce left over. Thanks for making our "2004 Family Valentine Dinner" a big hit.

I used smoked pork chops and wine instead of apple juice...came out great!
