Pork Chops with Apple Sauce
Can be served with a small salad and sautéed spinach
Serves 1
When cooked, pork chops can sometimes
be dry, so adding apple sauce to this dish
can help increase the meat’s flavor.
• ½ cup nonfat milk
• ½ tsp. salt
• 1 (½ -inch-thick) pork chop (with or without
bone)
• ¾ cup fresh whole wheat bread crumbs,
ground in a food processor
• ¼ Tbsp. minced garlic
• ½ tsp. fresh or dried rosemary
• ½ tsp. fresh or dried thyme
• ½ cup apple sauce
• 1 Tbsp. canola oil
Directions
1. Stir together milk and salt in a shallow
3-quart dish, add pork chops. Marinate,
covered and chilled, turning over once, at
least 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 200°F.
3. Stir together bread crumbs, garlic,
rosemary and thyme in a shallow bowl.
Lift pork chops from milk, letting excess
drip off, and dredge in bread crumbs.
Pat bread crumbs lightly to help them
adhere.
4. Heat oil in a skillet over moderately high
heat. Add pork chop and saute, turning
over once, until golden brown, about 5 to
6 minutes.
5. Serve pork chop topped with apple
sauce.
