There’s always a first time, isn’t there? So I bought some
pork chops on a whim and thought I’d come up with something before they reach their
use by date. I looked at several recipes
and took bits from many and put this dish together. It was not bad for a first
try and very easy to prep as well as make.
Also I was not sure how the cinnamon apples would turn out,
but they complemented the pork pretty well. I used Gala red apples, because that’s
what I had.
The cinnamon apples need finely powdered cinnamon else the
cinnamon bits get in your way while eating the apples and they are not
pleasant. You can find Cinnamon Powder in stores. If you have Cinnamon sticks
and prefer to use that, you can break about ½ an inch of the cinnamon stick and
pound with your pestle and mortar, once that’s done just sieve it so that the
big bits are caught.
The pork was actually seared on the pan before being baked.
Just wanted to get some colour on the meat and bring out some flavour.
