Pork Chops and Applesauce

These are the juiciest and best pork chops I have ever had or made.  How many of you grew up eating pork chops and just accepted they were always dry?  I did, but screw that grocery store pork, nothing like what I got from my farmer and will never buy meat from a store again if I can avoid it.  Well back to this recipe, all the flavor combinations in this just explode in your mouth and it is amazing.  Enjoy
