Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork loin chops
• 3 Tbsp. oil

• 1/3 C heavy cream
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Heat oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan or cast iron skillet.
2. Pat pork chops dry on both sides;  place in pan and cook until brown and cooked through on each side or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
3. In another skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until soft. Next, add brown sugar and cook for 1 minute, or until it begins to melt.
4. Add chopped apples, and sauté over medium heat until the apples are browned and tender.
