These pork chops and apples turned out just OK. I think if I tried them again, I'd put the apples on top of the pork chops so that the juice,of which there was a lot, would help moisten and flavor the chops. You couldn't taste the sherry, which was a little bit of a disappointment to me. I think I might try them again with those changes.

I just made for Easter dinner tonight and it was great. I too, thickened the drippings with cornstarch and water for those who wanted a dark sweet gravy for the mashed potatoes. Fantastic dinner!

I did them in the slow cooker and threw in an extra apple since I had just one left. One poster said not to do em in the slow cooker as they came out hard and dry. I just can't picture how anything coming out of a slow cooker can come out hard and dry if the lid was on tight. The apples did come out overcooked though. Will try again in the regular oven/family did like the flavor.

This was a fabulous upgrade from other apple pork chop recipes I've tried in the past. I followed the recipe almost as instructed, but instead of baking it pan fried the pork chops and then made the sauce in the same pan until it thickened a bit. Delicious!

I threw the brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and sherry in the cast iron skillet AFTER I browned the chops to grab those little bits in the bottom of the pan. The sauce seemed thin to me, so I threw in another quarter cup of brown sugar and a couple more healthy pats of butter. The end result was fantastic. Next time, I'd use another apple or two because we were fighting over the apples that were left and there weren't any to go in the foil with the last remaining pork chop and I'd also double the cinnamon.

Absolutely delish! I browned the chops, removed them, then quick-sauteed a thin-sliced large white onion in addition to the apples in the same pan. Added the cinnamon and just a little sugar, then sherry. I put the chops on top and baked 350 for an hour. OMG everyone loved it, even the kids.

I made this using thick boneless pork chops that I soaked in a brine for an hour or two beforehand...I seasoned the brine with some of the same flavors as this dish (brown sugar, apples, cinnamon, also some smashed garlic cloves, a bit of thyme). Then followed this recipe...and I had two family members say they were the best pork chops they have ever had. I did also sprinkle some thyme on with the salt and pepper (I had some fresh thyme that day, can you tell?). Out of this world!

Awesome! Besides adding a little extra sherry towards the end w/cornstarch, I might have been a little stingy w/the brn sugar since i was eyeballing it, but that's ok since i was hoping for an even balance w/sweet & savory...This was a kick(ur taste)buds concept/recipe! Thanks for a great idea!

I did the recipe as directed, except that i put them in the slow cooker as someone else suggested. After five hours, they were hard dry tasteless lumps. So .. word to the wise: avoid the slow cooker with these.
