CHEF NOTES:

• How To Reheat: Add the pork chops and apples to a pan with a lid and bake in the oven at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until hot.

• Make Ahead: It is best to serve this recipe as soon as it’s ready, but you can make it up to 1 day ahead of time, simply keep covered in the refrigerator until ready to reheat and serve.

• How To Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

• I personally enjoy a combination of tart and sweet apples when making them, but feel free to use what you like.
