APPLE PECAN PORK CHOPS
Yum. Apples and pork chops. If you don't have the apple brandy, you can substitute with apple juice. This makes a wonderful sauce, and I like to serve it with plain white rice.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check their internal temperature. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the chops for doneness by cutting into them. The meat should be cooked through, with no pink in the center.
- For a crispy crust on the pork chops, sear them in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Once the chops are browned on both sides, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until they are cooked through.
- To keep the pork chops moist, baste them with the apple cider vinegar mixture while they are cooking. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
- If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can use white wine or chicken broth instead.
- Serve the pork chops immediately with the apple-pecan stuffing and your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Apple-pecan pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the apple-pecan stuffing is a perfect complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
