Lite Dinner Tonight: Pork Chops with Sauteed Apples

This is an easy weeknight dinner option. I made this last week after seeing it in my sister’s recipe file. Easy, light, and yummy!


Ingredients

* 1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
* 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
* Cooking spray
* 1 teaspoon butter
* 4 cups (1/2-inch) slices peeled Granny Smith apples (about 4 medium)
* 1 tablespoon brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* Dash of salt

Preparation

Combine first 3 ingredients, and sprinkle over the pork. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add pork; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove the pork from pan. Cover and keep warm.

Melt butter in pan over medium heat. Add apples and remaining ingredients, and cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Serve the apples with pork.
