This was a great tasting and easy variation for pork chops. I shared the receipe with my co-workers and they have been indulging ever since! Thanks!

Wonderful! The cloves and mustard really cut through the sweetness and added extra flavour. My hubby also loved it! So quick and easy and also very inexpensive. I wouldn't change a thing!

Very enjoyable. I made for my family for Sunday lunch with roast potatoes and vegetables and everybody liked it.

I've never made pork chops with apple before. It was very flavorful. I am generally not too keen on eating any fruit that is incorporated into a recipe but the apples smothered over the pork chops made this dish excellent!

My husband & I are always looking for new recipes. We decided to try it despite some bad reviews. Opting to use beef broth as someone suggested they did to liven it up a bit. It was no help. This recipe was just plain blahh. Like something you would get a cafeteria type restaurant. It's not on our fix again list.

I thought this recipe was ok but will probably not make it again. I cooked it on top of the stove; the pork was tender, onions & apples were the right texture. I used less liquid as others mentioned but felt it lacked something. The clove flavor was strong but I did like the zing of the mustard and brown sugar.

We had this last night. The aroma of it cooking was outstanding! I did make it in the crock pot after browning the meat. Next time I will dredge the pork chops in flour before browning which tends to help them retain their juiciness. I also added fresh ground sea salt with garlic. It definitely needs extra salt or something else. Otherwise, everyone gobbled it up.

My family liked it and labeled it "a make again recipe". The chops were a little thinner than l/2" so I limited the time of browning to 1 minute each side and baked for only 25 minutes in the convection oven. I used home made beef stock instead of water. I agree with other reviewers about the amount of liquid - 1/2 cup would be plenty. I also used a 12" iron skillet for the entire recipe because the boneless chops fit nicely in this skillet.

I found this recipe in the AllRecipes CookBook -- which I really love. I chose this one because I love pork and apples together, and it had an overall 4-star rating. The overall flavor of the dish was pleasant enough, but the apples were mushy, the "sauce" was more like a simmering liquid, and the meat was very tough and dry. I don't know how it could have been changed to make the meat tender- maybe just letting everything simmer in the pan until the apples were soft. In my opinion, I won't be making this one again.
