Pork Chops in apple sauce

No, that's not pork chops with applesauce, but with an apple sauce. They were on sale at the local latin market, so I decided to try - I think I've maybe cooked pork chops once before, so it was a bit of an adventure. So, here's what I did

4 pork chops
salt and pepper
oil
apples, sliced
apple butter
worcestershire sauce
garlic
chicken broth

Generous salt and pepper the pork chops (I used kosher salt). Fry them briefly in a skillet with a small amount of oil, a minute or two on each side so that they're seared. Remove them from the pan.

Combine about 1/3 cup apple butter, a tablespoon of wooster sauce, 1-2 cloves garlic, minced, and some more pepper.

Toss in the apples and saute them until they are just barely starting to soften. Add some chicken broth and loosen all the yummy carmelized gunk on the bottom of the skillet. Return the pork chops to the skillet, pour the sauce on top of the chops, and add some chicken broth (you can make it as thick or as liquidy as you'd like). Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the pork is done all the way through and the sauce has reduced a bit. The apples were all mushy and falling apart, but it worked so well with the pork.

We had this with a quinoa pilaf and green beans.
