Ingredients
You'll need: 2 lbs thin cut boneless top loin pork chops, 1/2 cup aged balsamic vinegar, 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, 1 Tbsp honey, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/8 tsp freshly grated nutmeg, 1/8 tsp kosher salt, 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 1 cup apple sauce, 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
How to prepare: Using a large saute pan (enough to fit 1 layer of the meat) combine the balsamic vinegar, 2 Tbsp of butter and honey and heat on medium heat until it reduces in half. Combine the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper and mix well in a small bowl. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the tops of one side of the pork. Evenly place the pork (the unspiced sides) into the balsamic mixture in the saute pan (still medium heat). Let cook in the liquids for about 5-6 minutes. Flip the pork with tongs and allow the other side to cook for an additional 5-6 min. Remove from saute pan and place on a serving platter. Pour remaining juices from pan over pork. In a small sauce pan, combine applesauce and additional 1 Tbsp butter. Stir on medium heat for about 5 minutes (or until warm to the touch). Serve in a sauce dish with a spoon. To plate: Slice pork on a plate and spoon apple/butter sauce on side of pork. Drizzle pan juice on side for garnish if desired. Enjoy!
