To make Pork Chops and Apples, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Spray a 15x10-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Place apple slices in a 1½-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle the apple slices with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Trim excess fat from around the edges of the pork.
Spray a medium sized nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Cook the pork in the warmed skillet for around 6 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned all over.
Place each chop onto the baked apples and cover the dish with foil.
Bake the dish in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the chops are golden brown and cooked through and the apples are tender.
