Home Made Applesauce and Panko and Parmesean Crusted Pork Chops

For a long time now - I usually only bake or grill any meat I cook, however my daughter will only eat fried pork chops.  I must admit - they do taste better! 

So here's tonight dinner.  Enjoy!


HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

4 lg. apples
1/4 c. sugar (white or brown)
Several shakes cinnamon

Cut apples in small pieces and take out the middle. Put the cut up apples into a pan with 1/4 cup sugar and a few shakes of cinnamon.  Cover the pan with the lip and cook at medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes then let the apples, cool and mash the apples with fork or potato masher.


PARMESAN BREADED PORK CHOPS

4 pork chops, 3/4 inch thick
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 c. dry panko bread crumbs
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour



Heat oven 350 degrees. Dip pork chops in combined egg and seasoning and then in combined cheese and bread crumbs. Melt oil in skillet, brown each chop on both sides. Bake 350 degrees 35 minutes turning chops occasionally.
