Did you know this a good thing together. Because if the porkchops are not fully done then the acid in the applesauce will cut down the chance of you getting trichinosis .

We always ate applesauce with pork chops. My mother told us so we wouldn't get worms when we were little. But you are correct, it lessens the chances of getting ill from undercooked pork. Now, I must have applesauce with porkchops, however, I never eat it with anything else. In fact, I don't even like it.

Yes I do know that it is a good thing. I like my meat moist and not dry so it is always a good thing to use.

We always had pork chops with applesauce when I was growing up. I'm going to have to ask my Mom if this was why. It just seems like the natural combination, doesn't it? I don't have to worry about undercooked meat, though; I like all of my meat well-done.
