Chops and Apples



The oven is warming my little nest, so Katie must be getting ready to make something. I captured a couple of shots of what looks like an adaptation of a roast. Pork chops were seasoned, and placed on top of baby carrots that had been tossed with a small amount of melted butter and two tablespoons of apple juice. Atop these were placed chopped apples and green onions. What a combination I thought, apples and onions, as I snacked upon a slice of apple that had been flung to a corner of the cutting board. The bit that was left in the pan however proved a pleasing combination with the pork. Much to my delight, the meal included macaroni and cheese, a take off of this version of mom's macaroni and cheese. Only I usually use milk, and flour browned in butter.


3 or 4 pork chops, seasoned to taste (seasoned salt was employed)
2-3 cups baby or sliced carrots
1/2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons apple juice
1 sliced onion, or several green onions
1-2 sliced apples

Melt the butter and toss with carrots, and place in a small baking pan.
Pour the apple juice over, and place chops on top.
Put the onions and apples over the top, cover and bake at 400 degrees until the carrots are desired tenderness.
