Apple-Pecan Pork Chops
A delicious pork loin chop entree found on bhg.com (Better Homes & Gardens). Just another way of using up those freshly picked apples you’ve accumulated!
Ingredients:
4 boneless pork loin chops, cut 3/4-1" thick
Salt and ground black pepper
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup thinly sliced red apple (1 medium)
1 cup chopped pecans
2 tbsp packed brown sugar
Trim fat from chops. Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper; set aside.
In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat, until it sizzles. Add apple; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Push apple to sides of skillet. Add chops; cook for 4 minutes. Turn chops, moving apple aside as needed. Spoon apple slices over chops. Sprinkle with pecans and brown sugar.
Cook, covered, for 2 to 4 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of chops registers 145F. Serve chops with apple slices and cooking juices.
