Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees . Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
PORK CHOPS: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
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.
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.
Place into the oven and roast until the pork is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 140 degrees, about 12-15 minutes.
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.
Serve pork chops immediately, topped with apple mixture and garnish with parsley, if desired.
