Ingredients needed:
* 4 boneless pork chops, cut 1/2 inch thick
* 1/4 cup peanut oil or vegetable oil
* 1/4 cup honey or packed brown sugar
* 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons rice wine or dry sherry
* 1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
* 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
* 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
* 2 large baking apples, such as Cortland or Winesap, cored and cut into thick slices
* 1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
* 4 green onions, sliced diagonally into 2-inch pieces
* 1 tablespoon of honey
Preparation steps:
* Trim fat from chops. Place chops in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, in a small bowl combine peanut oil, the 1/4 cup of honey, the soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, five-spice powder, and sesame oil. Pour marinade over chops. Seal bag; turn to coat chops. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours, turning bag occasionally.
* Preheat oven to 425 degrees, Drain chops, reserving 1/4 cup of the marinade. Place chops in an ungreased 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Arrange apples around chops. Drizzle apples with the reserved 1/4 cup marinade; sprinkle with Chinese five-spice powder.
* Bake, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add green onions. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes more or until chops are cooked through and apples are tender. Arrange chops and apples on a serving platter. Drizzle apples with the 1 tablespoon honey.
