Weekend Blog...Sunday night...Work tomorrow, Yuck! These apples are something I always serve with pork chops. Remember, Peter Brady of The Brady Bunch? Pork Chops and Apple Sauce, said with a lisp? You know how old you are if you remember that episode! Applesauce always goes really well with pork but I like to make the apples more of a side dish. This would go really well with the Glazed Apricot Pork or any pork chop dish. Save your leftover apples for the amazing Apple Butter Pizza pictured above!
