Pork Chops and Apple-shauce

Another winner from Pinterest, I would recommend this for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner!

Ingredients4 pork chops (1.5 - 2.0 inches thick)
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
1 med yellow onion, sliced
1 granny smith apple, sliced
2 Tbsp salt free butter 
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp chicken or vegetable bouillon +1 C water

Heat a splash of oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. While the skillet is heating, season pork chops with salt and freshly ground black pepper and place season side down into the pan; season other side.

Let the chops cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes or until the bottoms form a nice brown crust. If they are sticking to the pan, that means they have not formed a crust yet. They will "let go" once the crust forms. Flip the chops and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes or so.
Once the chops have seared on both sides, remove them from the pan and place on a plate; cover with foil. Add the apples, onion and butter into the pan. Stir and cook for about five minutes or until the apples and onions begin to soften.

Next, add the bouillon + water, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to the skillet with the apples and onions. Stir until everything is mixed together then return the chops to the pan. Nestle the chops down in the mixture, making sure some onions and apples are on top of the chops. Then simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the liquid has reduced by half. Stir occasionally, moving the apples and onions around so they all have a chance to simmer and soften.

Serve each chop with apples, onions and sauce spooned over top.

I made these with some blanched french green beans tossed in a lemon mustard vinaigrette - whisk 2 Tblsp of lemon juice with 2 tsp ground mustard and 1/3 C of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
