Pork Chops with Cinnamon Apples and Cranberries

I think I've mentioned this before, but in case I haven't or you missed it, we have a fabulous meat market near our house.  We buy all our meat there! It's reasonably priced, humanely raised and we know we're supporting a small business.  All of their meat has such a great flavor to it! I've never had anything from there that I didn't enjoy.  Perhaps one of my favorite things they have is their stuffed pork chops and I really can't tell if its because they're stuffed.....or if its just their pork chops are that dang good!

Most times I'll cook my pork chops on an electric skillet.  The chops are pretty big and I don't have to worry about uneven cooking or fitting them all into my largest skillet on the stovetop.

Drizzle some EVOO on the skillet, sprinkle some garlic powder, pepper, salt and paprika over the tops of the chops.  Toss them in the skillet, turning once after about five minutes on one side.  Then put a lid on it.  Let them cook on their own on medium/high heat.

Chop up some tart apples--today I used Gala apples.  Depending on how many people you're serving will depend on how many apples you'll need, obviously.  Cut up four tablespoons of butter.  Place butter and apples in large sauce pan.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and about a tablespoon of brown sugar.  Cook on mediume heat for about 10-12 minutes, then add some cranberries.  Let the cranberries cook down;stirring every once in a while.
