What a better way to celebrate the changing of the seasons than with Pork Chops with Apples, a true fall favorite. 

I made these last week as the temperature here seems to be plummeting at night down to the 50's and I was ready to rejoice in the cool weather. 

The best part of the whole dish is the pork and apples infuse each other with a fabulous flavor combined with the herbs sage, rosemary and garlic. 

I mean who doesn't like pork chops and apple sauce? Think Peter Brady from the Brady Bunch. If you haven't seen that Brady Bunch episode use good old google and look it up! You'll be glad you did. Then jump on the pork chop band wagon and treat your self to a tasty treat! 

 We enjoyed this with twice baked potatoes but it is really divine with Skinny Mashed Yams.

  7. This is excellent! Even if you tweak it a bit - still good. (e.g. I didn't have apple cider, so used apple juice 3/4 c & apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup).
