Misadventures with Tori

I made these on Sunday night…. before my poor laptop died They were fantastic! Its from allrecipes.com.

INGREDIENTS
4 (3/4 inch) thick pork chops (we used 2 1″ thick butterflied chops.)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil (I skipped and used pam)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tart apples - peeled, cored and sliced
3 tablespoons pecans (optional)

NOTE: I doubled everything in bold to make more sauce as recommended by one of the reviewers. I recommend doing this!!

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C).
Place a medium dish in the oven to warm.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Brush chops lightly with oil and place in hot pan.
Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, or until done.
Transfer to the warm dish, and keep warm in the preheated oven.
OR grill them. I did this, and it took about 10-15 minutes.
I cooked my sauce while they were cooking and the timing worked well!

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt and pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Add butter to skillet, and stir in brown sugar mixture and apples.
Cover and cook until apples are just tender.
Remove apples with a slotted spoon and arrange on top of chops.
Continue cooking sauce uncovered in skillet, until thickened slightly.
(You might want a bit of cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
Ours got a bit runny after it had cooled.)
Spoon sauce over apples and chops.
Sprinkle with pecans if desired.
