Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Step 2

Place sliced apples in the bottom of a large baking dish and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.

Step 3

Place pork chops on top of apple slices and season generously with salt and pepper.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter and brown sugar, whisking until melted and incorporated, then stir in remaining cinnamon and nutmeg.

Step 5

Also whisk in cornstarch, if using. (Cornstarch isn’t essential, only for if you want a thicker glaze.)

Step 6

Pour mixture over pork chops and apple slices, then place in oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until pork is cooked through.

Step 7

Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh rosemary and enjoy.
