Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Boneless pork loin chops can be used instead of the bone-in chops.
  • tip 2
    Add spice to the dish by sprinkling pork chops with 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne).
  • tip 3
    Dried cherries can be substituted for the dried cranberries.
  • tip 4
    Red Rome, Cortland and Braeburn are varieties of apples that work well in this recipe.
