Last night my mom had mercy on me and cooked hamburgers and hot dogs for everyone because I had a pounding headache. When I realized that she had bought some Granny Smith apples, not even knowing about my crafty little plan to whip this recipe up, I figured it was a sign, so I defrosted the giant pack of pork chops I had in the back of the freezer and went to work.

Pork Chops with Cinnamon Apples and Parsleyed Egg Noodles
~Half Hour~
~4 Servings~
  • 4 Boneless Pork Loin Chops
  • 1 tsp Poultry Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tBsp Extra Light Olive Oil
  • 4 Medium Granny Smith Apples
  • 1 tsp Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 2 tBsp Promise Fat Free Margarine, divided into two equal portions
  • 4 cups Cooked Egg Noodles
  • 2 tBsp Dried Parsley
  1. Combine salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning and sprinkle over chops. (Bring water to a boil for egg noodles and prepare according to the package while completing the following steps if you haven't already cooked them.)
  2. Heat oil over medium heat in a large non-stick skillet. Add pork and cook for three to five minutes, or until cooked through. Remove chops from skillet when done and cover to keep warm. (We place ours in the toaster oven under the "Warm" setting to keep them heated.) Drain juices from skillet.
  3. Melt 1 tBsp margarine in skillet, keeping heat at medium. Add the apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon and cook for five minutes or until apples are tender, stirring often. While cooking, take prepared egg noodles and toss with remaining margarine and parsley.
  4. Serve apple mixture over chops, noodles on the side.>

This one is another modification from my absolute favorite cookbook! I found this book tucked in a Ross store for $5.99 and let me tell you, it. is. GORGEOUS. Every recipe has a full page, full color photo, and there are ideas in the sidebar for sides, as well as a grocery list and nutritional info. If you are a busy mom trying to feed your family nutritous meals on a tight budget, if you buy any cookbook, buy this one. You can find the original recipe on page 34 in Southern Living: Busy Moms Weeknight Favorites: 130 Suppers Your Family Will Love. Everyone in my family went *bonkers* for this meal!
