Caramelized Apple ButterTopped Pork Chops
- Olive oil spray (from a spray bottle, not a store-bought, prefilled one that contains propellant; I used a Misto)
- 2 (3- to 4-ounce) trimmed, boneless pork chops, about 3/4 inch thick
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons apple butter, preferably a natural one (I used Eden), divided
- Preheat the broiler.
- Line a small baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil and lightly mist the foil with spray.
- Lightly mist the chops all over with spray, and then season them with the garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Place them side by side on the prepared baking sheet, not touching.
- Transfer the sheet to the top oven rack and broil the chops about 3 minutes.
- Flip them and brush 1 tablespoon of the apple butter evenly over the top of each chop.
- Continue broiling until the apple butter caramelizes (turns brown in spots) and the pork just barely has a hint of pink inside, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
