      Yield: 1 servings
 
      6    Pork chops                          3    Apples-unpeeled with cores
           Pork chop fat or oil                1 ts Sugar
      2 ts Butter                                   Cinnamon
           -salt and pepper to taste      
 
  Cook the chops using melted fat trimmed from the meat and 1 tsp butter.
  (Note from Anne MacLellan; those concerned about their fat intake may chose
  to use corn oil or some other vegetable oil rather than the pork fat).
  Season to taste and set on hotplatter. Keep warm.
   Slice the apples 1/2" thick and add to the pan with 1 tsp butter, the
  sugar and a few pinches of cinnamon or cloves. Cook over medium heat for
  about 10 minutes, turning once or twice until some of apples are browned.
  Arrange them around the chops and serve. Serves: 4-6
  
  To quote Mme. Benoit, "The apples keep the chops moist and tender. I
  sometimes use 6 to 7 apples, then I use 1 Tablespoon sugar. Serve very
  hot."
