Skillet Apple Pork Chops
With fresh sage and apple, this dish is tasty, easy and done in a flash. The recipe says garlic butter, but I keep a jar with three cloves of garlic covered in olive oil and use that instead. The garlic oil is delicious for salads also. —Lorraine Caland, SHUNIAH, Ontario4 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 30 min.
