PORK WITH SAGE AND APPLES

Sprinkle both sides of pork chops with sage and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper.
Heat 1 Tbsp oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chops 3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through (160 degrees F on instant-read thermometer inserted from side to center). Remove to plate; cover loosely with foil.
Saute apples in skillet 1 minute. Add 1 cup water, 2 tsp sugar and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir to deglaze (remove browned bits from pan bottom). Simmer, uncovered, 2 minutes until apples are just tender. Spoon over pork.

DIFFERENT TAKES
Use chicken broth or apple cider instead of water to deglaze pan.
Add raisins or dried cranberries to skillet with liquid.
Whisk 1 or 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard into liquid before cooking.
