Pork Chops with Apples

Ingredients:

• 3 medium tart apples, such as Granny Smith
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp. vegetable oil
• 4 pork chops
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup apple cider or juice

Directions:

Peel, core and thinly slice apples and sprinkle with nutmeg.

In non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat, then add pork chops, salt and pepper. After about 5 minutes, turn chops to brown other side. After 5 minutes, add apples and cover. Lower heat and simmer another 5 to 10 minutes. Thickness of chops will determine cooking time; center of chop should be white and juices should run clear.

Remove chops from pan to a serving plate. Pour in juice or cider, turning up heat as you stir juice and apples, then spoon onto pork chops.
