A delightful twist on the classic pork chops, featuring a sweet and spiced apple topping with crunchy pecans.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt half of the butter.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated before adding the butter to prevent sticking.
Season the pork chops with salt and place them in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature for perfectly cooked pork.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and keep them warm.
Cover the pork chops with foil to retain their heat.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of spices.
Add the apples, pecans, spice mixture, and remaining butter to the skillet. Cook and stir until the apples are tender.
Stir gently to avoid breaking the apple slices.
Serve the pork chops topped with the apple and pecan mixture.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
