Pork Chops with Apple and Sage

This pork chop recipe is a simple, yet flavorful, dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are seasoned with salt and pepper and then browned in a skillet. They are then transferred to a baking dish and topped with sliced apples and chicken broth. The dish is baked in the oven until the pork chops are cooked through and the apples are softened. The resulting dish is a juicy and tender pork chop with a slightly sweet and savory flavor. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover apples.

I first developed this recipe when I was looking for a quick and easy way to cook pork chops. I had some apples on hand, and I thought that they would be a good addition to the dish. I was very pleased with the results, and I have been making this recipe ever since.
