Pork Chops with Apple Gravy

Yeah, that’s right. I said pork chops with apple gravy. 

I had never heard of such a thing either, but I saw something like this in a Taste of Home cookbook and needed to try it immediately. I already love pork chops with gravy, and pork chops with apple. How could I resist combining those two favorite dishes into one?

The original recipe called for heaving whipping cream, which is what I used, but it was very rich. That’s not a bad thing, but I made a note in the recipe that you could lighten it up a bit with half and half and still have a deliciously creamy sauce.

Despite the apple juice in this recipe, the gravy isn’t actually very sweet. It is gorgeous, velvety, and a little fruity. I know I’m not talking much about the lovely, juicy pork chops here, but honestly the pork was mainly the car driving apple gravy into my mouth. I hope you have a chance to try this recipe this week. Please come back to let me know you like it when you do!

Instructions
