Pan seared pork chops, glazed apples and seasoned green beans!

 Ingredients

PORK CHOPS:

• 2 T. unsalted butter
• 4 (8 oz.) pork chops, bone-in, 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick
• 1 T. chopped fresh sage
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

GREEN BEANS:

• 1 lb. green beans, fresh or frozen, trimmed
• 2 T. olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

APPLES:

• 2 T. unsalted butter
• 2 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
• 2 T. brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1pinch ground nutmeg
• 3 T. maple syrup
• 2 T. chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

 Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
2. PORK CHOPS: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
3. Rub both sides of the pork chops with sage; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add to the skillet and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Place pork chops on prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
4. GREEN BEANS: Place green beans on prepared baking sheet along side of pork chops. Drizzle green beans with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Place into the oven and roast until the pork is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 140 degrees, about 12-15 minutes.
6. APPLES: Return skillet to medium high heat and melt butter. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook stirring occasionally, until apples just begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in maple syrup, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
7. Serve pork chops immediately, topped with apple mixture and garnish with parsley, if desired.
