Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Sprinkle both sides of chops with sage plus salt and pepper to taste. In a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chops; cook just until browned on both sides. Transfer chops to a rectangular 3-quart baking dish, reserving drippings in pan.
2. Add onion to drippings; cook and stir until lightly browned. Remove onions and set aside. Stir flour into drippings in pan. Add molasses and 4 cups water; bring to boiling. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Remove from heat; stir in raisins and vinegar.
3. Place apples and onions on chops in baking dish; spoon molasses mixture on top. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes. Remove baking dish from oven. Place potatoes around chops; stir to coat with pan juices.
4. Bake 30 minutes more or until pork and potatoes are tender. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
