This recipe quickly became one of our favorite quick and easy recipes.  I love it because the pork chops are smothered in sweet apples and onions and simmered in a decadent sauce made from Angry Orchard Hard Cider.

Angry Orchard is one of my favorite adult beverages.  I love the crisp apple taste — it reminds me fall all year long.

You don’t have to worry about the alcohol in this recipe because it cooks out but if you’re still concerned, you can easily substitute regular apple cider.

It really is the perfect balance of flavor and texture.  And, my family cannot get enough of these!

  1. I am making this on Monday. I didn’t see where House Seasoning was used in it. House seasoning is listed in the ingredients. Maybe I M missing something?
