MAKES: 4 servings

SERVING SIZE: 1 chop, 1/4 cup apples, and 1 T. broth

CARB GRAMS PER SERVING: 9

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 8 ounces bone-in pork center-cut chops, cut 3/4 inch thick
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar and Spice Rub (below)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups thinly sliced Granny Smith apples

2. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the 1 tablespoon oil; swirl to lightly coat skillet. Add chops; cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and juices run clear (160 degrees F), turning once. Transfer chops to a warm platter; cover and keep warm.
