Preparation:
Coat pork chops in flour; reserve excess flour. In a large Dutch oven melt butter over medium-high heat. Brown chops on both sides. Season with pepper and salt if desired. Remove and set aside. Stir reserved flour into pan; cook and stir until paste forms. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups apple juice; blend until smooth. Return chops to Dutch oven; cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Add potatoes, onions, carrots and remaining apple juice. Cover and bake 30 minutes longer. Top with cabbage; cover and bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the pork chops are tender, basting occasionally with juices. |
