A friend posted this on her Pinterest today and I just so happened to have Pork Chops out so I thought I would give it a try. I changed a few things. The idea was good,but if I would have made them her way they would have been tough. I will link her recipe at the bottom.
Caramel Apple Pork Chops
Ingredients
4 (3/4 inch) thick pork chops
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter
2 Royal Gala apples - peeled, cored and sliced
3 tablespoons toasted pecans
Directions
Preheat oven to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Place a medium dish in the oven to warm.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Rub chops with a little salt then brush chops lightly with oil and place in hot pan. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes.Turning once half way through. Transfer to the warm dish, and keep warm in the preheated oven.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt and pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add butter to skillet, and stir in brown sugar mixture and apples. Cover and cook until apples are just tender. Remove apples with a slotted spoon and arrange on top of chops. Keep warm in the preheated oven.
Continue cooking sauce uncovered in skillet, until thickened slightly. Spoon sauce over apples and chops
Turn the heat up on the oven to 325 and bake the pork chops for another 40 minutes. Turn once to make sure the chops are covered in the sauce. While chops are cooking turn stove to medium heat and in a small frying pan place pecan halves in the pan and toast until they just turn a bit darker. Chop pecans and when the chops are done sprinkle the pecans on top.
Sprinkle with pecans. Enjoy !
