Salted Caramel Apple Pork Chops

I'm taking a slight detour from our vacation recap posts to bring you this awesomely fall inspired recipe.

We haven't been apple picking yet, but I had some apples laying around and had bought some pork chops.  The combo is always a no-brainer, but the usual pairing was sounding kind of boring, so I decided to kick it up a notch. 

Salted Caramel Apple Pork Chops

2 (3/4 inch thick) pork chops
1 teaspoon oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
2 apple, peeled and diced

  Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper and cook until done, about 3-5 minutes per side.
  Melt butter in pan with chops until slightly browned.  Spoon butter over chops to glaze.
  Remove chops with tongs and set aside or keep warm in oven.
  Add apples to same pan and cook until slightly softened.
  Add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally and allow mixture to caramelize.
  Serve the pork chops topped with the apples, extra sauce, and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Enjoy!
