Recipe Link: http://recipecenter.com

List of Ingredients




4 each 1-1/2-inch-thick pork loin chops
2 teaspoon crushed thyme leaves
1-1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup sugar
4 large tart apples, cored, peeled and cut into wedges




Recipe



1. Pat chops dry; mix together thyme, pepper, and salt and season both sides of chops. Set chops aside.
2. In a large heavy skillet melt the butter with the sugar over moderately high heat; add the apples and saute the mixture for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the apples begin to brown.
4. Turn the apples, cook them for 5 minutes more, or until they are golden brown and the sauce is thickened.
5. Remove from heat and keep warm.
6. Heat another heavy skillet over medium-high heat; brush with a little vegetable oil.
7. Add chops and brown on one side, about 4 minutes; turn and brown the other side, 4 minutes more.
8. Keep turning chops every couple of minutes until just done (Internal temperature measured with a meat thermometer will reach 160 degrees F.)
