Ingredients

Pork Chops

4 Pork Chops
2 tablespoon Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste

Cinnamon Apples

4 Apples Granny Smith or Honey Crisp; sliced thin or in bite-sized chunks.
2 tablespoon Butter or coconut oil
3 tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Nutmeg

Optional

1 teaspoon Fresh thyme for garnish

Equipment

Cast Iron Skillet

Method

Place a large skillet(I like to make this recipe in cast iron) over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Season pork with salty, pepper and a pinch of cinnamon then add the pork chops to the skillet and sear 4-5 minutes on each side. The pork's internal temperature needs to be 145°F to be considered done. Remove from the skillet.
Add 2 tablespoon of coconut oil to the same skillet on low heat. Deglaze the pan as it melts. Add apples, maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook and stir until the apples are tender.
Add the pork chops back to the pan, and cook for about 5 minutes longer until everything is warmed through. Serve immediately with rice, mashed potatoes or any side of your choosing.
