Ingredients
- 4 New York (top loin) pork chops 3/4-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tart red apples, cored and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
Instructions
- Remove chops from refrigerator up to an hour before cooking. The closer to room temperature the better. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Place chops in skillet and season with salt and pepper as desired. Saute chops for 7 minutes, turning only once, until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145 degrees F, followed by a 3-minute rest time. Remove; keep warm.
- In a small bowl combine brown sugar and cinnamon, add some nutmeg if you like. Add butter to skillet; stir in brown sugar mixture and apples. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes or just until apples are tender.
- Remove apples with a slotted spoon and arrange on top of chops. You may drizzle remaining sauce over the chops and sprinkle with pecans if you'd like.
