Apple Pork Chops

I was looking for a Pork Chop recipe and came across this from the
Taste of Home/Simply Delicious web site. I used Swanson Low Sodium Chicken Broth
and cut back on the 1/4 cup of onion.

Ingredients

* 1 teaspoon cornstarch
* 1/3 cup chicken broth
* 2 boneless pork loin chops (4 ounces each)
* 1 teaspoon canola oil
* 1 small apple, peeled and thinly sliced
* 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
* 3 tablespoons unsweetened apple juice
* 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
* 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

* In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and broth; set aside. In a large
* skillet, brown pork chops in oil. Remove and keep warm.
*
* In the same skillet, saute apple and onion until apple is
* crisp-tender. Stir in the broth mixture, apple juice, mustard and
* thyme; bring to a boil. Add pork chops. Reduce heat; cover and
* simmer for 8-10 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
* Yield: 2 servings.
