Spiced Pork Chops with Apple Chutney



This recipe is FANTASTIC...I mean really, really GOOD!  The flavors just say Fall and of course the apples and cranberries go so good with the pork.  Try it!

Ingredients:

Chutney:

  • 1 tablespoon butter 
  • 5 cups (1/4-inch) cubed peeled apple (about 3 apples - I like Granny Smith)
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries 
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar 
  • 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice  
Pork:

  • 3/4 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 
  • 4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut pork loin chops
  • Cooking spray $\

Directions:

  • To prepare chutney, melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add apple; sauté 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Add cranberries and the next 6 ingredients (through allspice); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 8 minutes or until apples are tender; stir occasionally.
  • 2. To prepare pork, while chutney simmers, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Combine chipotle and next 4 ingredients (through black pepper); sprinkle over pork. Coat grill pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done. Serve with chutney.
This is restaurant quality...I mean NICE restaurant quality!  Hope you like it!
