This is one of my family's most requested recipes.
INGREDIENTS:
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
6 (1/2-inch-thick) pork chops
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 medium-sized cooking apples
2 cups apple juice, divided
3 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground allspice
Combine first 4 ingredients in a shallow bowl; dredge pork chops in mixture. Reserve remaining flour mixture. Brown pork chops in oil in a large skillet. Arrange chops in a 13-x-9-x-2-inch baking dish.
Core unpeeled apples, and cut into rings; place on chops. Pour 1 ½ cups apple juice over apples. Combine sugar and allspice; sprinkle over apples. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 1 hour or until chops are tender.
Remove pork chops and apple slices to a serving platter, reserving pan drippings. Dissolve 1 ½ tablespoons remaining flour mixture in remaining ½ cup apple juice. Combine flour mixture and pan drippings in a saucepan; cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Serve sauce over pork chops.
Yield: 6 servings.
