Apple & Onion Pork Chops

Back in college I had a roommate make a pork chop one time that was absolutely delicious with apple sauce & onions and I have been dying to recreate it for years yet I always forget to pick up the apple sauce.... not today! I was prepared and I am delighted to say that while it isn't the same as the pork chop she made it was pretty darn good. I think you will enjoy this meal which all happens in one skillet making for real easy cleanup.

Apple & Onion Pork Chops: Serves 2

2 Boneless Pork Chops (approx 1/3# each)
1C Unsweetened Apple Sauce
1C Diced Onions
1TB Dijon Mustard
1tsp Olive Oil
2TB White Wine
Salt & Pepper

In a large heavy skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat, add the onions with some salt & pepper and cook until the onions turn soft and start to brown. Add the apple sauce and mustard with some more salt and pepper to the pan and stir to incorporate, heat until simmering and let it cook for 2 minutes. Salt and Pepper both sides of the pork chops and place each chop down into the pan and cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side until the pork is cooked through.

Remove the meat from the pan let it sit for 5 minutes, this process of letting the meat rest makes sure that all the juices won't make a run for it with the first slice of the chop. While the meat is resting add the wine to the pan over medium heat and stir to loosen any bits that may of gotten stuck to the bottom of the pan. Once the 5 minutes are up place a scoop of the apple mix onto the plate and place the pork chop on top of it and enjoy! I served with a side of Roasted Carrots which really added a nice splash of color to the plate.
