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 throughout, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
  • If you don't have apple cider vinegar on hand, you can substitute white wine vinegar or lemon juice. However, apple cider vinegar will give the pork chops a slightly sweeter flavor.
  • If you don't have pecans, you can substitute walnuts or almonds. Alternatively, you can omit the nuts altogether.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

These apple pecan pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the apple-pecan topping is sweet and crunchy. Serve them with your favorite sides for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
