Applesauce
4 cups tart apples (peeled, cored and chopped)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Pork Chops
3/4 cup breadcrumbs (if using seasoned, omit spices)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 -6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 boneless pork chops, 1/2 inch thick
vegetable oil (for frying)

1
You will want the apples to be uniform in size. And you don't want the pieces too big or they will take too long to cook. Roughly 1/2 inch pieces will do perfectly.
2
In a medium pot, combine all the ingredients for the applesauce.
3
Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 30 - 40 minutes or until apples are tender. Stirring occasionally.
4
Preheat oven to 300u00b0.
5
While the apples are cooking, combine the breadcrumbs, oregano, sage and pepper in a shallow bowl. One at a time, coat both sides of the pork chops with the Dijon. Press each side into the crumb mixture.
6
In a large, ovenproof skillet, cook the chops in the oil over medium-high heat for 4 - 5 minutes on each side.
7
Then place the skillet into the oven. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. This will finish cooking the chops through the center.
8
Your pork chops and your applesauce should be done right about the same time.
9
Remove the apples from the heat and use a potato masher to mash the apples until the sauce gets to desired consistency. You may want/need to use a blender of some sort (immersion, hand etc.) depending on the apples you chose.
10
Plate the pork chops with a dollop of applesauce on top. Serve with mashed potatoes and corn for a GREAT meal.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
