  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) canola oil
  • 4 pork loin chops (about 500 g / 1 lb)
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) cider vinegar

1. In a frying pan over medium-high heat, cook the onion in the butter or margarine with the cinnamon, salt and pepper for about 2 minutes, or until browned.

2. Add the garlic, apples and brown sugar. Mix and cook for 10 minutes.

Tip: Use the cooking time to prepare your side dishes.

3. In another frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil and cook the pork chops until lightly browned on the outside and pink on the inside (about 3 to 4 minutes on each side). Add salt and pepper to the pork chops as they cook.Icône: Medium-High et “on each side”

Tip: If you don’t have two frying pans, set aside the apple mixture in a bowl and fry the pork chops in the same pan.

4. Add the cider vinegar to the apple mixture and serve over the pork chops.
