I read several reviews before making this dish; I followed other peoples ideas such as omitting the mustard, and doubling up on the brown sugar, and using cinnamen. I also added honey. People had previously noted the sauce being "Thin", however they should have compared its consistency to water. The overall flavor was good, but barely there. (Literally) Boyfriend felt the same. I will try this one more time, but I will use applesauce instead of water, to try and thicken the sauce up some. The thickening of the sauce may be key. FYI: DO NOT USE GRANNY SMITH. (Too sour for such a sweet recipe)

Well, mixed reviews at my house. I read many of the reviews prior to preparing this dish and took some of the advice. I marinated the chops in the apple juice and spices for several hours. I used both cinnamon AND cloves. To me, the chops were nothing special...I did not taste any of the apple flavor at all. My family enjoyed them very much and declared them very tasty. After reading the reviews, it seems that this dish just hits some as wonderful and some as so-so....same as at my house. It DID smell wonderful while cooking...a good Fall dish.

The apples were the best part of this dish. The pork chops seemed to lack enough flavor for me. It definitely helped to eat a bite with some of the apples. I think I'll try this recipe again but I'll let the chops marinate for at least an hour next time.

I took the suggestion from other reviews and added cinnamon - very good. I also noticed comments about the sauce being thin, so I cooked it down a bit before baking. I think that helped. The whole family enjoyed them - no leftovers!

we also made it with 2 extra tablespoons brown sugar, no dry mustard, and cinnamon instead of cloves and that was good!

Although this was an easy recipe to prepare, this wasn't a "five star". Maybe a thicker sauce would have made a difference, at least to my family.

This recipe is really easy to make and tastes delicious!! It has an awesome flavor and left-overs are even better. It doesn't have a thick gravy type sauce which is fine because all the flavor is already in the pork chop and it's very juicy. Thank you Marie!

This was not a bad recipe, but it didn't "wow" me. I found it a bit bland. If I had some pork chops and apples on hand I WOULD make it again, but I don't think I would go out and buy pork chops and apples in order to make it. My husband liked it more than I did though.

I tried this recipe using country ribs in my crock pot and it was great. I mixed 3/4 cups of apple juice with the brown sugar, ground mustard, cloves and 1/4 t. cinnamon. Put that in the crock pot along with 1/2 C. chopped onions and added the meat. Cooked it til tender. Added apple slices the last 45 minutes. Yum!

Thought this was average but will try it again. The sauce was too runny but had a really good flavor (definietly use apple juice instead of water). Make sure you use thick pork chops & bake for 30-35 minutes.

I was blown away by this recipe. I wasn't it expecting to have so much full flavor! I followed the advice of a few people and added cinnamon, rather than cloves, omitted the dry mustard, and added 2 more tablespoons of brown sugar. After cooking the onions in olive oil and setting them aside, I only returned them to HALF of the pork chops for baking, since my husband doesn't like onions. We were both VERY pleased with this meal and I will make it again!!!

I deglazed the pan with sweet wine and added it to the sauce. Im going to try adding a juice instead of water next time. Definitly don't add 3/4 c. of liquid.

Wonderful FLAVOR. I followed the recipe 'as written' w/ one exception. Apples are not in season in April. I some leftover 'fried' Apples. I also used 'Minced' Onions (I soak them in water for a few minutes to soften) they saved chopping time. The consistency of the 'fried' Apples made for a wonderfully thick 'topping'. CLOVE is the Magic in this recipe. The chops were done in 30minutes. don't understand what others wrote. I used 3/4" boneless center cut CHOPS. They were moist and juicy. A definite KEEPER.

I had expected the pork chops to be busting with flavor. My family asked me to never cook them again. They felt that this recipe lacked flavor.

If I could describe this recipe in just one word, it would be, "Wow!" At the advice of some reviewers, I used the same amount of water but 4 Tbsp. brown sugar. I also substituted 1/2 tsp. cinnamon for the cloves, and left out the mustard and onion. Since I used thin pork chops, they were done in 1/2 hour. I thickened the sauce with corn starch, and it tasted absolutely delicious poured over the chops. This is one of my new favorite recipes!

The chops were tough and the sauce was thin even though I only used 1/2 cup. The only thing that was good were the apples - we had to eat a piece of apple along with each bite of chop to add any flavor to the meat.
