Apple Pork Chops
8 pork chops
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup Heinz 57 sauce
6 oz. apple juice (concentrated, undiluted)
3 apples, sliced (if you like firmer apples use baking apples like Granny Smith. I use whatever apples I have on hand. This is a good way to use what is dying in the fridge.)
Brown pork chops in skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Place chops in a 9×13 pan and arrange apple slices on top. Combine Heinz 57 sauce and apple juice and pour over everything. Bake uncovered at 350° for 30-40 minutes.
Baste occasionally.
