Steps:
- Make the applesauce: Combine the apples, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very tender but still juicy, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Mash the apples with a fork, or puree with an immersion blender or in a food processor for a smoother sauce. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the pork chops: Mix the paprika, garlic powder and sage in a small bowl. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and rub all over with the paprika mixture. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the pork chops, reduce the heat to medium and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side and cooked through, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove to a plate and pour off the drippings from the skillet.
- Add the chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add any juices from the plate of pork to the skillet and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the butter until smooth. Transfer the pork chops to a platter and top with the pan sauce; sprinkle with parsley. Serve with the applesauce.

Steps:
- Marinate pork chops:
- Stir together milk and 2 teaspoons salt in a shallow 3-quart dish, then add pork chops. Marinate, covered and chilled, turning over once, at least 1 hour.
- Make applesauce while chops marinate:
- Peel, core, and coarsely chop apples, then stir together with remaining applesauce ingredients in a 3-quart heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat to moderately low and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until apples are falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf and mash apples with a fork. Keep applesauce warm, covered.
- Fry pork chops:
- Preheat oven to 200°F.
- Stir together bread crumbs, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and remaining teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl.
- Lift pork chops from milk 1 at a time, letting excess drip off, and dredge in bread crumbs, lightly patting crumbs to help adhere, then transfer to a tray, arranging in 1 layer.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté pork chops in 2 or 3 batches, without crowding, turning over once, until golden brown and just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer as cooked to a platter and keep warm in oven. (Add more oil and butter to skillet as needed.)
- Serve pork chops with applesauce.

Steps:
- For the grits: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the bacon and onions until the bacon is chewy and the onions are translucent, about 1 minute. Pour in the grits and add the chicken broth. Stir together and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 40 minutes. Add the cream and cayenne, stirring them into the grits. Cover the pot and keep cooking over very low heat, stirring occasionally to keep them from sticking, until the grits are tender but still have a bite to them, another 20 to 30 minutes.
- Just before serving, stir in the cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- For the pork chops: Melt the butter with the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. (They'll finish cooking in the skillet later.) Remove the pork chops to a plate.
- Put the skillet back on the heat, add the Applesauce and pour in the wine and vinegar. Cook until the liquid reduces by half, about 5 minutes. Pour in the maple syrup, stir it in and allow it to come to a bubble. Add the pork chops to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for another 20 minutes.
- To serve, spoon a generous helping of grits onto a plate. Lay a pork chop on top of the grits, and then spoon the apples over the top. Be sure to get a little extra pan sauce onto the plate.
- Throw the apples, apple juice and lemon juice into a pan and bring it to the boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat and simmer until the apples are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir through the sugar and mix until melted. Add the cinnamon and stir through.
- Puree the mixture in a food processor, blender or food mill. If not using right away, leave to cool and then refrigerate.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork chops by cutting into the thickest part. The juices should run clear, with no pink in the center.
- To make a quick and easy applesauce, simply peel and core the apples, then chop them into small pieces. Add them to a saucepan with a little bit of water, sugar, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the apples are soft and the sauce has thickened.
- If you want to make a more flavorful applesauce, you can sauté the apples in butter or olive oil before adding them to the saucepan. You can also add other spices, such as nutmeg or ginger, to taste.
- Pork chops and applesauce can be served with a variety of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
