Apple & Onion Pork Chops

This had to be (by far) one of my favorite pork chop recipes I have done.  I made this a few years ago, but realized I never officially made it for my husband, Bob.  What’s funny is that I make pork chops quite often, at least once a week.  So, when I was flipping thru my recipe book, I couldn’t believe its been awhile since I made this recipe.  Since I had all the ingredients on hand, I thought this would be the perfect dish to make for dinner.  I tweaked the seasoning a bit this time around and it was just the perfect touch.  Even though Bob is not a fan of onions, he still loved this dish!
