Not quite the style of a certain chef, but it tasted pretty good.
I basically took jmac's chop instructions for his zucchini pork chops thing and combined it with 4 other apple/chops recipes. It turned out ok, but the issue is that the meat itself doesn't really absorb the flavor, so you have to really pile the apples/sauce on there. I think you could do this in a crock pot for better results, but I don't really mess around with crock pots since I like the hands on cooking stuff over just fire and forget.
So here we have ck64's apple chops-
Stuff you need:
4 pork chops
2 apples
1/3 cup almonds (whole or sliced, whatev)
1 tablespoon of butter
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
2/3 cup of apple cider (i used hornsby's hard apple cider)
You'll need to have your oven preheated to around 330, so if you want to get that started, now would be a good time
Sauce:
Cut up the apples removing core. I cut it into 16th's and then cut those slices in half.
Get a pan and start heating up the butter, I used medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, throw in your apples, brown sugar, and almonds. Then, dump your cider on top of that.
Cook this until the apples start to get soft.
The Chops:
Just followed jmac's instructions except substituted butter with oil. Heat up some butter and brush it onto the chops, then coat both sides with a little salt and pepper.
Sear both sides so they're golden brown.
The Combo:
Now you're going to want to preheat your oven to around 330.
Once thats ready, put your pork chops into a baking dish and then dump the sauce with the apples all over it.
Stick that in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the pork hits the right temp (160 core if i remember correctly, though I just cook it until theres no pink whatsoever).

Thats it.
I just used some canned green beans (classy i know) and a roll with a side of salad.
Looking forward to the critiques.
