    Pork chops and Apple sauce.....see! I love that line in the old Brady Bunch episode. I also loved this recipe. Simple, vibrant with flavor and a great side to the stuffed pork chops I made. This one stays in the rolodex of recipes, I will be making this with a couple of dishes for the up coming Holidays. If you didn't add the butter at the end, then you broke your promise to your taste buds. The bourbon was perfect, especially if you like what it does to fruits, it didn't take away the flavor of the granny smiths.

    I made a double-batch of this using the last of the apples on my Red Delicious. Outstanding flavor following the recipe exactly and the house smells incredible. I'm emailing this to my sisters. They're gonna love it. I was not a huge fan of apple sauce but this version is pure heaven.

    I was excited to make this with a pork tenderloin after reading the previous reviews. I followed the recipie to a T and It was wayyyyy to sweet and the bourbon was really strong. I should have cut the bourbon in half. I wont be making this again.
