Ingredients


Season the pork chops with your favourite pork seasoning. I like the Keg's chicken and rib seasoning.

Prepare the applesauce (recipe follows) or you can use purchased applesauce.

Mix the applesauce, white wine, sour cream and onion soup mix together.

Pour into the cooking bag. Add the pork chops and mushrooms. Gently mix them together. Tie the end of the bag with the twister provided. Make 5 or 6 small slashes in the top of the bag to allow the steam to be released. Place in a baking dish large enough to hold the entire filled cooking bag.

Bake at 350 deg F for 45 minutes. Carefully open the top of the bag by cutting a large slash. Remove the chops to a platter.

Scoop the mushroom sauce to a gravy boat to pass. It is very nice served with rice or roasted or mashed potatoes.

Serves

4 medium to small apples (I prefer MacIntosh, but you can choose your favourite cooking apple)
1 - 1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
JE* (just enough) cinnamon to taste


Peel and core the apples and then cut into bite sized pieces. Sprinkle with cinnamon (to taste....I like a fair amount of cinnamon). Add the brown sugar and stir.

Put on a burner that is on simmer, cover and cook about 20 - 30 minutes (depending on the apples), stirring every 5 minutes or so, until the apples are soft and can be broken down with a fork.
