Pork Chops With Caramelized Apples

• 4 bone-in ribeye (rib) pork chops 1 1/2-inch thick
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme crushed
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 4 tart apples large, cored, peeled and cut into wedges

1. Pat chops dry. In small bowl mix together thyme, pepper and salt; season both sides of chops; set aside.
2. In large heavy skillet melt the butter with the sugar over moderately high heat; add the apples and saute for 30-40 minutes, until apples begin to brown. Turn apples, cook for 5 minutes more, until they are golden brown and the sauce is thickened. Remove from heat and keep warm.
3. Heat another heavy skillet over medium-high heat, brush with a little vegetable oil. Add chops and brown on onside, for 7-8 minutes per side, until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit, followed by a 3-minute rest time. Serve chops with apples.
