Some cooking genius figured: Why put apple sauce on pork when you could just cook the pork in apple juice to start with? Big fall flavor with a side of sweet potatoes cooked right in.

Serves: 4
4 lean center-cut pork chops, 3/4-inch thick
2 1/2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chicken stock

2 tablespoons brandy
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge the pork chops in the flour, then add to hot oil and cook for about 5 minutes, turning, until crispy. Remove from skillet.

Wipe out skillet and add the stock, apple juice, brandy, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir together and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Add the potatoes and pork chops to the sauce. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 45 minutes, until pork is no longer pink in the middle. Serve pork with sauce spooned over it.
I loved it and so did my husband. We made it with white rice and put the sauce over the rice as well. We did notice that if you want extra sauce I highly recommend doubling the sauce recipe.
