Easy and delicious!
This recipe was SO easy to make, and it only takes 4 ingredients! What could be better? The apples were so delicious that my husband was asking if there were more. Also, it didn't seem like much food but it was really filling!

YUM YUM YUM
My husband was hesitant to try meat with apples. But once he did he LOVED it. My 2 year old cleared his plate! Will make again and again! I even tripled the recipe for a dinner party the other night and it came out great!

Delicious!
I'm not a huge pork fan, but my husband was getting a bit tired of chicken, so I thought I'd give pork a shot. I thought I had brown sugar but I didn't, so I had to substitute with sucanat cane sugar and a bit of honey and it was still delicious! Best pork recipe I've ever tried.

This is a quick and easy recipe -- if you get lean pork, it's a healthy entree. I did not have brown sugar (thought I did), so I used some maple syrup instead. Very yummy! The apples, with the peels kept on, provide some good fiber. Have some green beans wit this and you'll get two servings of fruits and vegetables along with some protein.
