4 (3/4 inch) thick pork chops
1 tsp vegetable oil (can do without this)
2 T brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1/8 t ground cinnamon

2 T unsalted butter
2 tart apples- peeled, cored, and sliced (Granny Smiths work best!)
3 T pecans (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Place a medium dish in the oven to warm.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush chops lightly with oil and place in hot pan. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, or until done. Transfer to the warm dish, and keep warm in the preheated oven.
