It had been a long day, and I was trying to figure out what I was going to make for dinner. I didn’t want to have to run to the store, but I also didn’t really have any specific ingredients to make a planned out dinner. So, I opened my fridge and freezer to try and get creative enough to pull something delicious and simple off with what I already had.

I ended up concocting what I call, Ashley’s Drunken Apple Pork Chops. It’s easy, affordable, and pretty healthy to boot. Think apple orchard meets home cooking with a splash of sophistication. Since its creation, my husband, Steve, has asked for it multiple times, so it must be decent. Personally, I’m a fan and hope you will enjoy it too!

While you’re gathered and eating, consider asking each other about what your favorite family dinner moment is/was and why.

Ashley’s Drunken Apple Pork Chops

Ingredients:

4 Boneless Pork Chops
4 Apples (I like 2 Fuji and 2 Golden Delicious) peeled and sliced
2 TBS. Butter or I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter
3 TBS. of brown sugar
White wine (about ½ cup)
Dash of salt and pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place all 4 pork chops in a 2 quart Pyrex dish with lid, and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Place peeled and sliced apples on top of the pork chops to cover. Divide the butter into 4 dollops and place on top of the apples.
Sprinkle brown sugar on top of everything.
Add the white wine – just enough to cover the bottom of the dish.
Cover and bake for 45 – 60 minutes.
