These pork chops were delicious! Juicy and full of flavor. I used thick, boneless pork chops, and I needed to cook them a bit longer than the instructions stated.

The sauce for these pork chops was delicious! I had a small amount of applesauce left from another recipe and these tender mild barbecue with a slight apple taste pork chops were a great way to use it.

"Good stuff!"<------ a direct quote from my husband. This one's a keeper. I cut the recipe in half for the two of us. I also added about ten minutes to the cooking time since my chops were at least an inch thick.

I quadrupled the glaze. My chops were frozen and about 3/4" thick so took them about 1hr. So delicious. I also took them out every 20mins to rotate because I had them in 9x9 baking dishes, but I'd follow the recipe if I had the bigger dish and thinner chops. THANKS!!!
