Apple Chops

I thought it was about time to share some 'real food' with you......but still have fruit in it.  I have alot of apples, so this just made sense. This is very tasty and the chops came out very tender and juicy.

APPLE CHOPS
Makes 4 Servings
1 Serving = 6 PointsPlus™


2 TBSP olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 (1/2” thick) pork chops
1/2 tsp salt
pepper to taste
2 apples (peeled, cored & sliced)
2 TBSP brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/8 tsp ground cloves
3/4 cup hot water


Preheat oven to 375º.

Heat oil in a large skillet. Saute onions in oil for 1 minute or until tender. Remove onions and set aside. Brown chops on both sides (to your liking).

Place chops in an 8 x 11 inch baking dish and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Cover chops with apples and cooked onions.

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard, cloves and water. Pour over chops. Cover with foil and bake 35 – 40 minutes.


MY SPIN: The next time I make these I'll only use 1/2 cup of hot water and maybe take the foil off for the last 5 minutes. I didn't want to brown the chops too much because I didn't want them to get dry. And I like onions, so I might use more than just 1/2 cup.

Now for the 'legal mumbo-jumbo' to keep me out of court!! *** The PointsPlus™ value for this recipe was calculated by me (Jan Gomes) and is not an endorsement or approval of this recipe by Weight Watchers International, Inc., the owner of the PointsPlus™ registered trademark. ***

Later!
