Equipment

1 Griddle pan

Ingredients

For the chops

2 Pork chops
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and Pepper Season to taste

For the sauce

1 Apple peeled and cored
50 g Brown sugar
10 g Butter

US (Cups/oz) - Metric (g/ml)

Instructions

Heat up the griddle pan for a few minutes and pour on half of the oil. Let this heat up and carefully rub it round with some kitchen roll.
While that is heating up, season the raw pork chop with the rest of the oil, salt and pepper (and some herbs if you wish).
2 Pork chops, Salt and Pepper, 1 tbsp vegetable oil
When the griddle is ready, turn to a medium high heat and place the raw pork chop on the griddle.
Cook the chop giving a few minutes on each side. Keep turning every few mins until cooked. Depending on the thickness of the chop the time will vary. As always, make sure you cook to temperature and not time. You are looking to achieve an internal temperature of 63℃ (145℉) upwards for the chop.
While the chop is cooking, you can dice up the apple into small pieces and measure out the sugar.
1 Apple
In a small saucepan, heat the butter and add the sugar and apple. Keep stirring until the apple softens. The sauce is as simple as this. Once softened appropriately, you can blend with a blender or mash with a fork. Put in a small ramakin to serve.
50 g Brown sugar, 10 g Butter
When the chop is ready at the appropriate temperature, stand it on the edges to crisp up the rind for a few minutes, before serving with the apple sauce.

Notes

This is a simple dish which can accompany many different foods. I like to serve this with mashed potatoes and a selection of veg.

You can swap out the oil on the griddle for a healthier spray oil if you wish, although a tablespoon of oil is not a huge amount to worry about. Don't use olive oil here though as the temperature will be too hot and it will end up smoking out your kitchen.
