Pork Chops wiht Apples

4 pork chops (6-8 oz each), each 3/4" thick
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground rubbed sage
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 Tbsp walnut oil or olive oil
1 medium apple, cored and chopped
1/2 cup apple cider or juice
1/4 cup dry white wine or apple cider
2 Tbsp chopped walnuts

Season the pork with the salt, sage, and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned on the first side, 4 to 5 minutes. Hold the chops on the edges and cook the edges until browned if desired, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and cook until the second side is browned, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and pour off any fat in the skillet. Add the apple, cider or juice, and whine, and cook until hte juices run clear and a meat thermometer registers 155F, turning once or twice, 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove to plates and spoon the apples on top. There should be about 2 Tbsp juices left in the pan. If more, cook over low to medium heat until reduced. Spoon the juices over the pork and sprinkle with the walnuts.
Makes 4 servings.
