Happily Ever Apple Pork Chops

[Tobey]

Ok, I normally tell people to stay away from pork as it has the highest amount of fat, with the least amount of protein as far as meats go. BUT there comes a time such as the holiday season where even pork has its place on the dinner table. This is a good one and I hope that you like it.


Happily Ever Apple Pork Chops
Succulent pork chops topped with a sweet and spicy apple-mustard sauce

6 boneless pork loin chops (about 5 oz each) trimmed of fat
1 cup apple butter
2 tbsp. Mustard
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
3 cups peeled and sliced Golden Delicious apples (about 3 large)
1/2 cup thinly sliced onions
2 tbsp. cider vinegar

Spray a large, non-stick skillet with a non-stick spray. Cook chops over a medium-high heat until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine apple butter, mustard, cumin, salt and pepper. Spoon evenly over chops. Reduce heat to a medium-low. Cover, and cook until chops are just slightly pink in the center and juices run clear, about 10 minutes. Lift out chops, leaving sauces in the skillet, and keep it warm.

Add apples, onions, and vinegar to the skillet. Stir to coat apples and onions with sauce. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until the apples are softened and the onions are tender.

To serve, spoon apple mixture over warm pork chops.

Great reciepe one question what is apple butter and where do I get it

[Tobey]

PureAnge,
Apple butter is a jelly that is used in much the same way grape or strawberry ect jelly is used on peanutbutter sandwhichws, toast ect. You can find it in the peanut butter section of your local grocery next to the jellies. It is brown in color BUT it taste like nothing you have ever treied before.( Really good stuff) Pumkin butter is much the same thing and can found in the same place although I have never seen pumkin butter offered anywhere except in Pennsyvalia. (spell?)
