For ease of preparation, 5; for flavor, 4; for presentation, 3, but since I subbed a partial can of diced tomatoes for the ketchup, I'll round up, as it were, to 4 stars. Like another cook, I used a slow cooker for this one. Served with broccoli, rice, and green salad. It was a quick and easy meal to do ahead for Sunday dinner. I submitted a photo of what our (thick cut) chops looked like once plated.

Great pork recipe for non-pork lovers! The apples actually provided a side dish, as I chopped a Red Delicious and an Empire into larger pieces...that let them retain their density and the sauce provided great flavoring. I used boneless pork chops and laid them on the chopped onion bed; they were the juiciest chops I've ever had! As for the apples, I combined a little more ketchup (maybe 1/2 -3/4 cup), added the brown sugar, and about a tablespoon of mustard for bite (any extra can be used for dipping, as my 3 year old loves dipping everything in something!) I tossed the apples in, coated them, then put them on top of the chops, covered the dish in foil and baked for 45 minutes. The non-pork person in my family is now requesting I add this to the rotation!

we tweaked it a bit. I emailed this recipe to my husband to get started before I left work. He took the recipe, eyeballed all the ingredients instead of measuring and used Jack Daniels BBQ sauce instead of ketchup. He reduced the amt of sauce to just a simple glaze, and cut apples in 1/8th's instead of thin slices. He servied it and it was AMAZING. Flavors were great, the bbq roasted apples were VERY flavorful and fun. the boneless thick pork chops were SUPER juicy and perfectly done. cooked for about 40 min I think - our oven isn't the greatest - might take less time for you. Served w/ brown rice and green beans. Will be a staple in our home for making pork chops.

I loved this I took some of the reviews and added a bed of onions. I also put the ketchup mix under the apples so it wasn't ugly looking. This would be great with some mashed potatoes I loved it so did my husband we will have this again.

This was very good. The pork chops were juicy and the brown sugar gave it a sweet taste.

It was ok. We weren't a big fan of the apples with ketchup, but the chops were pretty good.

This was a pretty good recipe and the pork chops came out very juicy. I will make this again, and test it out on the hubby, who is a huge pork fan, but probably wont like the apples. We shall see. I did not change anything and I won't change anything when I make it again.

Absolutely the best pork chops I have ever eaten. I cooked this yesterday for myself and my mom. I followed the instructions as written and even took the advice from another review about using red onion to line the bottom of the pan. Let me tell you, it was absolutely delish with the red onion and using a Red Delicious Apple. For others, I would recommend using a sweet red apple like Red Delicious and not a tart green. Gives the food sweet, but not too sweet flavor. And do use the ketchup. I did and think that if the ketchup wasn't there it would take away from the flavor.

i'm not a huge pork fan because I always find it too dry or tough. This one was delicious! Super moist and tender. I did change one thing though, I put mine in the slow cooker and added a little bit of apple juice and water for liquid. Turned out great! I don't care for the apples myself but the meat was wonderful.

Good, my husband liked it. I used the suggestion of layering onions at the bottom of the pan. I did not pour the ketchup over the pork chops. Instead, I mixed ketchup, brown sugar and some apple cider, and a little browning sauce over the pork chops to cook. Once the chops were done, I took the juices, added a little butter in a pan to make a sauce.
