Harvest Pork Chops

It's really tough cooking autumn foods when it's near 100°F, but I had to cook this delectable dish to celebrate the first day of fall.  It goes really well with sugar snap peas.

1 tsp dried rubbed sage
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 (4oz) boneless center-cut pork chops (about 1/2" thick)
1/2 tsp vegetable or canola oil
1 tsp butter
4 cups (1/2") sliced, peeled Granny Smith Apples
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
dash of salt

SERVES 4

1. Combine the first three ingredients and sprinkle over pork.
2. Heat oil in a large, non-stick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat.  Add pork; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done.  Remove the pork from pan.  Cover and keep warm.
3. Melt butter in same pan over medium heat.  Add apples and remaining ingredients, and cook for 5 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently.
4. Serve the apples with pork.
5. Enjoy!
