Baked Pork Chops With Apples & Spiced Maple Sauce

• Spice Rub
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 4 boneless pork loin chops (1-inch thick)
• 5 cups apples (cored and sliced, peel on if preferred)
• 1 cup red onion (sliced)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• Spiced Maple Sauce
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 1/8 teaspoon clove
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

1. Mix all ingredients in spice rub together and sprinkle over chops top and bottom.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Spray an oven proof, non-stick skillet with lid with cooking spray.
4. Brown chops 3 minutes per side on medium high heat, uncovered. Remove from skillet and set aside.
5. Add apples and onions to skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until they start to brown.
6. Place chops over apple/onion mixture.
7. Pour in chicken broth, cover and cook about 20 minutes. The pork chops should reach 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
8. Take the chops out of the oven and let stand for 10 minutes to completely cook the chops and not dry them out.
9. After taking chops out of oven combine spiced maple sauce ingredients in a small sauce pan.
10. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until mixture reduces to desired consistency. We like ours thin, so we only cooked about two minutes.
11. Pour sauce over chops and apples. Enjoy.
