Porkchops and Applesauce...and Potatoes

Porkchops and applesauce go together really well. I don't know why. They just do. It's also nice to have some roasted potatoes too. So that's what I'm doing. Haha.

Ingredients:
Chops-
Boneless pork chops (enough to feed everyone)
olive oil (about 1 tablespoon per chop, for marinating)
oregano (1 teaspoon per chop)
rosemary (1 teaspoon per chop)
garlic powder (1 teaspoon per chop)
onion powder (1 teaspoon per chop)

Potatoes-
Potatoes-russet or red-enough to feed everyone
olive oil-enough to coat potatoes when cubed
garlic powder- 1 teaspoon per potato
onion powder- 1 teaspoon per potato
Italian seasonings- 1.5 teaspoons per potato

Applesauce-
Apples-at least 4
1/2 cup water per 4 apples
1/2 cup sugar per 4 apples
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon per 4 apples (optional)

Directions:
Peel and cube all the apples. Place them in a large pot over medium low heat with the water and sugar. Stir after about 10 minutes. The apples will start breaking down on their own. Cook another 10 minutes, and stir. Lower heat to low and cook another few minutes, until the apples are mostly broken down. Stir in the cinnamon if desired. Stir and mash the apples until desired consistency. Set aside.

Wash and cube the potatoes, about an inch cubes, but leave the skins on. Toss the potato cubes with the olive oil and spices until evenly coated. Place the potatoes in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Roast in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Flip the potatoes over and roast another 10 minutes until potatoes are cooked through.

In a gallon size zip top bag, pour in the olive oil, garlic, onion, and seasonings. Place the pork chops in the bag and zip it up. Coat the chops with the oil and seasonings and let them sit in the bag marinating for a few minutes. Place the chops in a single layer in a baking dish, and cook in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Flip them over and cook another 10 minutes, or until the chops are cooked through. If the juice in the chop run clear when it's punctured, then it's done. If it's milky or pink, it's not done.

Serve everything together and enjoy!
