My hunny loves his pork chops and he loves to play my kitchen guinea pig, so this turned into a match made in heaven! He now doesn't want them any other way. I prefer to use sweet vidalia onions and either fuji or gala apples, to me they just add something.

  • If you don't have apple cider vinegar on hand, you can substitute white wine vinegar or lemon juice.
  • To make a quick and easy sauce, deglaze the pan with the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth after cooking the pork chops. Add a tablespoon of butter and stir until melted to create a flavorful sauce.
