Spiced Pork Chops, Squash and Apples image

My friend gave me this simple recipe when I was expecting our first baby. It's a gret fall/winter meal. We also use it for OAMC/freezer meals and it works great (freeze meat/veggies separate from sauce and combine when thawed). Also try with 2 1/4 lbs turkey thighs (skin removed)instead of pork.

These pork chops were a bit dry, but the squash and apples were good. I think I will try a different recipe next time.
