Almost forgot... Recipe for the Week

Caramel Apple Pork Chops

4 boneless pork chops 

vegetable oil 

2 tablespoons packed brown 

sugar 

salt and pepper to taste 

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 

2 tablespoons butter 

2 medium tart red apples, cored 

and sliced into ½” wedges 

3 tablespoons chopped pecans 

(optional) 


Heat skillet over medium-high heat.  Brush chops 

lightly with oil and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning 

occasionally, until evenly browned and cooked 

through.  Remove; keep warm.  In a small bowl, 

combine brown sugar, salt, pepper, cinnamon and 

nutmeg.  Add butter to skillet; stir in brown sugar 

mixture and apples.  Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes 

or just until apples are tender.  Uncover and cook 

another minute until the sauce thickens slightly.  

Spoon sauce and apples over the chops.  Sprinkle 

with pecans if desired. 


I like to serve these with a wild rice mix and steamed asparagus with parmesan.


Happy Friday!!

oh I make something similar to this. But I add raisins instead of pecans. Too yummy.
