Apple Juice Pork Chops

    I sometimes get sick of the same old recipes.  I don't want anymore plain grilled chicken, no more marinated baked whatever, and definitely no more shake and bake!

    Who knew apple juice on pork chops would be so fun and interesting!?  The juice gives these chops such a good flavor!  One of my favorites!
