SKILLET APPLE PORK CHOPS
With fresh sage and apple, this dish is tasty, easy and done in a flash. The recipe says garlic butter, but I keep a jar with three cloves of garlic covered in olive oil and use that instead. The garlic oil is delicious for salads also. -Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES
These moist tender chops get delicious flavor from Dijon mustard, onions and apple slices. Or try replacing the apples with pineapple rings for an appealing variation. I like to serve mashed sweet potatoes with this main course, along with a simple salad.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in, center-cut pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. These will cook evenly and stay moist.
- Season the pork chops well: Pork chops can easily become bland, so be sure to season them well with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also use a marinade to add extra flavor.
- Cook the pork chops over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the pork chops and keep them juicy on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the desired doneness: The safe internal temperature for pork is 145 degrees Fahrenheit. If you cook the pork chops past this temperature, they will become dry and tough.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork chop.
Conclusion:
Skillet apple pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out perfectly cooked and flavorful every time.
