Very good. I would make this meal again, I pared it with garlic rosemary mashed potatoes, and salad. I want to try some green beans with it next time.

Made this tonight and it was quite good. I think next time I'll dice the apples more, at least half of them. I also think it would be good to maybe lightly flour and brown or even bake these chop these in a breading and pour the gravy/apple mixture over. Yes to both ways! :) I will post when I do...
