Adjust the amount of curry to your spice preference; this dish can be made milder or spicier depending on your taste.
Serving Suggestions

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the pork with chicken or even tofu for a vegetarian version. Just adjust the cooking times accordingly, as chicken will cook faster and tofu will need less time to heat through.
What type of apples work best in this dish?
Sweet apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp are ideal, as they balance the savory flavors of the curry. Avoid overly tart apples, which could overpower the dish's overall sweetness.
