I found this recipe online years ago and it quickly became a favorite. The ingredients are easy to keep on hand and it's great in hot weather because it goes together quickly, without turning on the oven. One-pan cleanup is a bonus. —Christina Price, Wheeling, West Virginia

<p>This was good...the chop in the picture is too thin so I used a double cut. And I always brine my chops it gives more flavor and lots of moisture.</p>

My husband loved this recipe. The sweet, cinnamon-y apples compliment the pork perfectly...will definitely make again. Very easy to adjust portion size depending on how many you are cooking for.

What is "reduced-fat butter"? Never heard of it.
