     My husband made these for dinner tonight, it's a great combo of sweet and savory. The pepper cuts through the sauce just enough to keep it from tasting like dessert. This is one we'll be making regularly, I think we probably only spent 25-35 minutes total preparing and cooking, too. - 11/11/08

     I loved this! Quick and easy to make, and hits the spot when those sweet/spicy cravings of fall hit you. I didn't have tart apples so I used Fuji's and it was still wonderful. Will definitely make this again! - 10/21/08

     This was very good and sooo easy to make. My husband said he was going to buy pork more often. We used tenderloin instead of chops. - 10/21/08

     VERY good! I loved it! FYI, if you're out of brown sugar (like I was), you can combined 1/3 c sugar with 1 tbsp molasses. I will definitely make this one again! - 6/13/12

     I'm not a pork chop fan, but it is what my husband wanted for Sunday lunch. WOW!!! My daughters both ate quite a bit as well. I didn't have any drippings left to thicken, or I would have given this a five:) - 1/2/11

     This recipe was extremely easy and very fast to cook. Overall, it was good, but I have had better and am still on the hunt for a better recipe. I would use this recipe again though if short on time as it was extremely simple and quick to make and my family enjoyed it as well. - 7/3/10

     This was an awesome meal. We did not have nutmeg so I used cayenne pepper and man was that good! Added a nice bite. I only had one problem in that there was no sauce after cooking the apples. I think my cover was not tight enough :( I will definitely make again and try a tighter cover. - 2/4/10
  • TARTANLADY
     Absolutely fantastic!!! I used the Splenda blend brown sugar and LOL light butter. The pecans were the finishing touch! - 1/25/10

  • THE_MACHINE
     Phenomenal! I was a little skeptical of the mix of the sweet, apple-pie-like ingredients with pork, but, wow, this recipe blew my socks off! I certainly recommend it. My husband requested that it be made a regular meal in our household. - 7/20/09
