Author Notes
These pork chops are a wonderful fall meal. The ginger and orange juice add a fusion twist. The addition of apples adds another layer of flavor and taste.
The recipe originated from an old TV show called Northern Lights. Over the years I have tweaked the recipe to my liking. —Sunnycovechef
