Preparation

Canadian Pork Chops

On high heat quickly brown pork chops in 2 tablespoons oil. Remove chops from pan and set aside. Fry medium onion sliced thin on medium heat. Remove fried onion from pan and set aside. Fry apple slices until they are light brown in color, sprinkle with cinnamon. You may need more oil to fry the apples and onions. Now layer into roasting pan: onions, apples, pork chops. Add basil and salt on top of your pork chops. Continue layering: onions, apples. Pour one cup of apple juice over your layers. Cover roasting pan with lid and bake at 300º F for 45 minutes. Remove roasting pan from oven and remove lid. Lay thinly sliced cheese over top and broil until the cheese is crisp and bubbly.

Helpful Hints

During the frying process you may need more oil. That's OK, but add oil sparingly about 2 tablespoons as needed. Serve pork chops covered with onions and apples.
