1
2
Gather and portion ingredients.
3
Depending on how thick your pork chops are, you may want to cut them into about 1/2 inch pieces so they cook a bit faster.
4
Cut around the core of the apple and slice cheeks thin.
5
Melt the butter in a large skillet and add the sliced apples.
6
Add a couple sprigs of thyme to the apples and saute until apples are softened but are still a bit crisp on the inside. Remove the apples from the pan.
7
Add a bit of oil to the skillet over medium-high heat. When nice and hot, add the pork chops. Brown for a couple minutes on each side.
8
Grate or finely chop the fresh ginger into the pan with the pork chops. Add the apples back to the pan along with the garlic.
9
Cook the pork chops for a few more minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145.
10
Remove the sprig of thyme, and plate the pork chops. Top with a few fresh leaves of thyme if you like.
