APPLE PORK CHOPS WITH CARAMEL APPLE SAUCE

Fish has lemons, lamb has mint, beef has pepper. We can safely say Pork has apples.

Pork and apples is a famous combination in British and Spanish cuisine. This dish will have you feeling like you’re dining in a five start restaurant. Definitely the best pork you’ll ever have.

I used Appletizer to enhance the apple flavor. The appletizer also gave the pork a sweet and sticky flavor and feel. The combination of ‘sweet’ from the appletizer and the ‘spicy’ from the black pepper is perfect. To take things to the next level, I made a caramel apple sauce using apples, appletizer, cream, cinnamon and sugar. This sauce is everything and it’s a perfect pairing for this sauce.
