Cooking Directions for Single Meal

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place the pork chops into the baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Slice the red onion. Peel and slice the apples, then place them in a bowl with the red onion, and then toss with the lemon juice. (The lemon juice is to keep the apples from browning.)
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt. Toss with the apples, then pour the cinnamon-apple mixture over the pork chops. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 40 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chops.
  4. Warm the dinner rolls.
  5. Prepare the salad.
  6. Serve Baked Cinnamon-Apple Pork Chops with salad and dinner rolls.
