¼cupapple cider vinegar

2tablespoonsdiced shallot
4thick center cut pork loin chops

Instructions
Place the peeled and diced apples along with the sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until apples are soft and the liquid is reduced (about 20 minutes).
Meanwhile, mix the vinegar, oil, and shallot in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat. Season the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper. Add the butter and oil to the pan. When the butter has melted, add the pork chops. Cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through (internal temperature should be 160 degrees).
Finish the apple puree by blending until smooth, or for a chunkier puree simply stir with a fork.
Serve the chops topped with SweeTango apple puree and dress with apple vinaigrette.
