CARAMEL APPLE PORK CHOPS

2 boneless Pork Loin Chops
oil (of your choice for browning/cooking)
1/4 Cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 tsp  ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
salt and pepper
2 tart Apples (Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Braeburn, or Golden Delicious)
4 Tbsp butter


Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Brush pork chops lightly with oil and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until evenly browned.  Remove from the pan and keep warm.

In a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt & pepper to taste.  Core Apples and peel.  Slice them into 1/2 inch wedges.  Add butter to the skillet and stir in apples and brown sugar mixture.  Cover and cook over medium high heat for 3-4 minutes, just until the apples are tender.

Remove the apples with a slotted spoon and arrange on top of the chops; keep warm. Continue cooking the mixture in the skillet, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly. Spoon the sauce over the apples and chops.
