Pork Chops with Apple Cream Sauce


Whatcha Need:
4 1-inch thick center-cut pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 16 to 20 slices
1/2 pint heavy cream
2 tbsps butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsps olive oil
1/4 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes


Whatcha Do:
Rub pork chops with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic and red pepper flakes.

Grill chops over a medium-hot fire for about 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until to desired doneness. Alternatively, pork chops can be pan-fried in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.

Meanwhile, prepare sauce by melting butter and brown sugar in a saute pan over medium heat. Continue to cook and stir until mixture starts to caramelize.

Add sliced apples and turn frequently until the whole mixture is caramelized. Stir in heavy cream and cinnamon. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Cover and remove from heat, stirring occasionally.

Spoon apples and cream sauce over grilled pork chops. Serve hot.
