Sweet Apple Pork Chops

I enjoy pork chops, they are more interesting than chicken and a welcomed break from beef. Being fall and having a sweet tooth I was looking for a dish to incorporate sweet apples. The resulting pork chops have to be one of my favorite creations.

Sweet Apple Pork Chops
  1. In a large/deep frying pan heat black pepper, garlic, and a slice of sweet onion minced. Add several teaspoons of oil.
  2. Add pork chops, about four, to the frying pan. Turn to coat with oil and spice and to sear each side. Reduce heat to low.
  3. In a large bowl combine the following:
    1. 3 large baking apples peeled, cored, and sliced
    2. 1/4 cup unsweetened dried cranberries
    3. 1/3 cup red wine
    4. 2 table spoons brown sugar
    5. dash of cinnamon
    6. dash of nutmeg
    7. 3 cloves
    8. dash of black pepper
  4. Cover pork chops with mixture and simmer on low heat until pork chops are done and apples are soft. A crock pot or oven may also be used.
