Ingredients and Preparation

Ingredients	Measures
Flour	1 tablespoon
Cumin	½ teaspoon
Salt	¼ teaspoon
Dash of fresh ground black pepper
Pork loin chops	2 (6-ounce)
Medium, tart apple (such as Granny Smith), cored and sliced lengthwise	1
Brown sugar	½ tablespoon
Cinnamon	1 teaspoon
Butter	2 teaspoons
Canola oil	2 teaspoons
Vegetable stock	½ cup
White wine vinegar	1 tablespoon

Directions
Mix together the flour, cumin, salt, and pepper on a large plate. Dip the pork chops into mixture so that they are evenly coated.
Combine the apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Heat the butter in a small, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced apples and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until slightly golden.
Heat the canola oil in a medium to large skillet over high heat. Place the pork in the skillet and sear for about 1 ½ minutes on each side. Then turn the heat down to medium-low and continue to cook the pork for 2-3 minutes per side.
Add the stock and vinegar to the skillet. Scrape up any brown bits stuck to the pan and cook with the cover on for 3-4 minutes, until the pork is cooked through and the sauce is somewhat thickened.
Serve the pork with the sauce and apples.
