Apple Pecan Pork Chops

8 boneless pork loin chops
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 ground mustard
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
3 tablespoons chopped pecans
1 medium red apple, sliced

Broil pork chops 3-4 inches from the heat for 6 minutes (I fry mine in a skillet with a touch of olive oil instead). Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt and mustard. Stir in the butter, vinegar until smooth.

Turn chops over and broil for 4 miunutes. In a small skillet pour the sugar mixture in with the apple slices and pecans and heat through making sure that the apples are cooked. Pour the apple mixture over the pork chops and serve warm.

Side Note: I combined two different recipes to create this simple and tasty dish. The recipe recommends that you broil the pork chops but I prefer to cook them in a skillet with some olive oil. I only make four pork chops instead of eight and there isn't an over abundance of sauce using it over less meat. The one recipe uses the sugar mixture and the pecans and my other recipe uses apples and a different sauce. I really like this sauce with both the apples and the pecans. It is quick and easy to make and so delicious.
