Maple Mustard Pork Chops

Ingredients 1/4 cup country sausage gravy mix
1 1/2 pounds center-cut pork rib chops (4 chops)
large zip-top bag
2 tablespoons butter
2 McIntosh (or other firm tart) apples
1 (12-ounce) jar homestyle pork gravy
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard

Steps

1. Place gravy mix (reserved from polenta) and pork chops in zip-top bag; seal tightly and shake to coat. Wash hands.
2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium 2-3 minutes. Place butter in pan and swirl to coat. Add pork chops, using tongs, and cook 3 minutes, without turning, until browned.
3. Cut (rinsed) apples into bite-size pieces, discarding core. Turn pork chops and add apples; cook 3 minutes, until pork chops are browned.
4. Whisk remaining ingredients together in medium bowl. Pour over pork chops and apples; swirl pan to mix ingredients. Cook 5 minutes or until internal temperature of pork chops is 160°F (for medium). Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. Serve.
