Last night my daughter made the best pork chops! It was a wonderful break from the kitchen for me and the recipe was truly a keeper!

What you’ll need:

• 5 thick pork chops
• Cannola oil
• 3 tbls brown sugar
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 3 tbls unsalted butter
• 3 granny smith apples (tart apples), peeled, cored and sliced.
• Pecans (optional)

What to do:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Heat a large skillet over high heat.
3. Brush chops lightly with oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Place in hot pan.
4. Cook each side 5-6 minutes.
5. Transfer to glass baking dish and place in preheated oven.
6. Cook for 20-25 minutes. Time may vary depending on thickness of chops. For thin chops time will be shorter.
7. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt and pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg.
8. Add butter to skillet and stir in brown sugar mixture and apples.
9. Cover and cook over medium heat until apples are tender.
10. Once chops are fully cooked, turn down the heat to 175 degrees.
11. Remove chops from oven and top with apples. Place back in oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
12. Once ready to serve, place on plate and top with pecans.

Enjoy!
