I changed a few things. I used apple cider instead od the condensed version. I also used apple cider vinegar. Before sauteing them, I sliced open the pork chops and added an apple stuffing. Then I seasoned the oil with cinnamon, nutmeg and garlic powder. I put in the over and half way through I turned over. I cooked them for about 20 minutes. I also drizzled the sauce over a few times while in the oven. At the end while on the stove I added corn starch and had to quickly stir. It became thick fast and was a great sauce!

This pork chop recipe is fantastic! I skipped the step of putting the skillet into the oven and simply threw a lid on the skillet and let the pork simmer in the cider after I had browned them up. it helped the sauce cook longer and saved a lot of extra time. I didn't need to thicken up the sauce - it became a nice glaze after it cooked down by about 3/4. I cooked and served it with a chopped apple and that was a really tasty addition. I served this with some carrots and wild rice and my husband and I both really enjoyed the meal.

I've made this recipe twice so far. The second time I decided to brine the pork chops in a bowl of ice water with 1 tbsp/cup each of salt and sugar and a dozen peppercorns for 6 hours. Wow, what a difference it makes for the meat! So moist and full of flavor. I used bottled apple cider reduced in a saucepan and added a chopped onion to the frying pain before adding the chops but otherwise followed the recipe. (no extra salt needed because of the brine). Very, very good. My family loved it. Thanks.

I really enjoyed this recipe. I made this along with the Red Chard and Caramelized Onions recipe (also on this site) and roasted red potatoes. Went along with the sauteed onions and apples on top as several other posters did. I also used regular apple cider rather than concentrate. Delicious!

Very good! I couldn't find the frozen apple cider concentrate so just used apple juice concentrate. I prepared only 2 pork chops (boneless) and cooked for only 20 minutes. Hubby loved it. Will definitely make this again!

Great chops!! The gravy especially made then and mashed potatoes, as recommended, was a perfect side! I could find the apple cider concentrate so I used regular apple cider like MHBMHB recommended and followed her tip on reducing the time, cooked 3 chops for a reduced time of 18 minutes. I used the tbsp butter/flour trick melabee suggested to help thicken the gravy faster, worked very well!!

This was excellent. We wanted to try something different for thanksgiving so we made this for our dinner instead of turkey. I didn't have any sherry on hand so I substituded it for some grape raspberry frozen juice I had at home. I haven't made it with the sherry yet, so I have nothing to compare to, but it was amazing! Everyone loved them and we had nothing left at the end of the night!

This was a wonderful recipe but I modified it for the grill. I made up all the ingredients except substituted frozen apple juice for cider and red wine for sherry. I put it all in a bag and added the chops (after poking them a few times with a tenderizer) for an hour or so. I grilled them and then boiled the marinade adding a tablespoon of corn starch mixed with a little wine until thick. I also added salt to taste and served it over the steaks. A nice, sweet sauce on a tender pork steak. All four of the men in my family loved it. I will be making this again.

This was good but not great. For me, there is too much out there to try that might be great, so I won't make this again.

Very easy dish to make and the sauce is quite tasty. I took others advice and adjusted the coooking time in the oven so they wouldn't overcook and added thinly sliced apple and onion as the sauce cooked. Definetely will make this again

I made it exactly as written with the exception of the apple cider. I used apple juice 12 oz. frozen (never found or even saw frozen cider before). The sauce didn't thicken maybe because of the extra juice or the fact it was juice and not cider but who cares, I eat prime rib with au jus and it isn't a thick sauce. I tell you this was a huge hit even without the cider. I just dribbled it on the chops (well, ok...it was so good it ended up as a pool across the chops and potatoes) and it was very very good. I will make this again...I do not plan on changing any part of the recipe (just using juice instead of cider because I can't find cider). Thanks!

We made this exactly as written; we always do the first time we try something new. Anyway, the sauce didn't thicken, so I left it on medium-high heat to boil and by the time I went to pour it on the chops, it had virtually carmelized to the point of being like a candy apple coating! Fortunately, the juices from the chops blended well with some of the sauce, so it wasn't a bomb at all! We really enjoyed the flavors, but next time, I'll pay closer attention to the sauce's consistency. Great flavors, great recipe - thanks!!

I was determined to stick exactly to this recipe so I could give an honest review based on the actual recipe. Well, I failed..lol. Like so many others stated, I couldn't find frozen apple cider so I used a container of frozen apple juice concentate. I also didn't have poultry seasoning so I used 1/2 teaspoon each of sage, rosemary, thyme & marjoram. After baking the chops (15 mins. would've been plenty), I added the sherry and boiled away. The aroma of worcestershire was really strong so I added a 4oz. cup of unsweetened applesauce to the liquid. Also, like many others, I did use cornstarch to thicken the sauce. The end result? Absolutely delicious! Based on my own personal tweaks, it was 5 stars but without them, I feel the 4 stars is good. It's all a personal preference. One note- I made 10 smaller, boneless chops and had plenty of sauce.
