Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over high heat. Add pork chops and cook for 2 to 3 min on each side or until browned. Place in shallow baking dish in single layer.

In the same skillet, over medium heat, cook onion and apples for 3 min. Add garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, for 2 min more. Deglaze with apple juice and scrape bottom of pan; cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Whisk flour into cream; stir into skillet. Bring to a simmer; spoon over chops and bake, uncovered, for about 20 min or until just a hint of pink remains in pork.

Sprinkle with green onions.

For the Adventurous: Add 1/3 cup (80 mL) dried cranberries, prunes or apricots and 2 tsp (10 mL) Dijon mustard when adding the garlic.
