This pork chops with apples and green beans dish is a deliciously light and flavorful meal that’s perfect for Fall. Plus, it’s all made in ONE pan!
Now that school is back in session, our nights are busier than ever! Between the after-school activities, homework, and impatient hungry kids…it’s hard to find the time to prepare a meal that they will love and is good for my family.
And to be completely honest with you, on some of those busy nights, I’ve relied on McDonald’s! I know, I know, brutal right?? Lol!
That is why I love a good sheet pan dinner! So easy to prepare, fewer dishes and it’s puts smiles on my family’s faces! I only had to grab 3 ingredients from the store and the rest was in my pantry.
Plus, does this recipe just scream Fall? I’m ready!!!!
