Caramel Apple Pork Chops

Yum! What a treat these were. The perfect combination of yummy pork chops and sweet apples. We will definitely be making these again. I enjoyed my apples and pork chop with a baked sweet potato and a glass of sparkling apple cider.

Ingredients:

1c apple juice
olive oil
4 3/4in thick pork chops
2tbs brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8tsp ground nutmeg

Directions:
Marinate pork chops for at least 2 hours in the soy sauce and apple juice.

Preheat oven to 425. Drizzle pork chops with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Roast pork chops for about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let juices settle.

While chops are roasting, combine brown sugar, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Add butter to a warm skillet and stir in brown sugar mixture and apples. Cover and cook until apples are tender. Remove apples with a slotted spoon and arrange on top of chops.

Continue cooking sauce until slightly thickened. Spoon sauce over apples. If desired, sprinkle with pecans.
