Pork Chop and Apple Bake

One of my infrequent forays into meat cooking for my carnivorous partner! This was very simple and quick even for a non-cook and must be okay because he's asked for it again.

Ingredients:

• 2 pork loin chops
• 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried sage
• vegetable oil
• 1 Granny Smith apple or other tart variety
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup hot water
• 1/3 tablespoon vinegar
• 1/4 oz raisins

Modus Operandum:

1. Season pork chops evenly on both sides with salt and sage. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Brown pork chops in hot oil on both sides; transfer pork chops to a shallow baking dish. Reserve drippings.
2. Peel, core, and slice apples 1/4-inch thick. Arrange apple slices over pork chops. Drizzle molasses over apple slices.
3. Sprinkle flour over skillet drippings; cook until brown, stirring occasionally. Slowly add water, stirring constantly, until smooth, then bring to a boil. Stir in vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and raisins; pour mixture over pork chops.
4. Cover pan with foil and bake at 350° for 50 to 60 minutes.

Serves 2.
