Start this pork chops recipe by searing some thin cut pork chops.

Our temperatures are falling. Quickly. Our number of daylight hours are diminishing. Rapidly. We all know what this means, it is almost fall, and I'm not fighting it anymore.

Tent the pork chops with foil and set aside.

I love summer, but last week when we had a day in the mid-90's. Reality has been waking us up with temperatures in the mid-30s, and gravitational forces are causing the branches of our apple trees to almost touch the ground below

Sautée some apples and onions.

To autumn I say, "Bring. It. On." Scott made the entire process dramatically more palatable, literally.

This evening he put this meal together on the fly, and it is too delicious not to share. With gratitude and pleasure, I once again turn the keyboard over to him.

Add a cup of white wine to the pan. We prefer using a dry white wine like sauvignon blanc.

Today after work I went to pick up our boys from after-school care. The first question, as usual, was "What's for dinner?"

Hmmm, great question. I wasn't sure. I had gone grocery shopping on Sunday and picked up our weeks worth of meals. What I should say is that I picked up some staples like milk and bread and some other things that were on sale or just caught my eye.

A warm blend of spices and brown sugar are added to the pan.

I could not walk past the granny smith apples without putting them in the cart. I just love them, delicious. After a survey of the meat counter, thin cut pork chops called to me. I know that they are quick to cook and very versatile.

Little did I know that they would become the base and the answer to the question that was posed to me earlier this afternoon.

Granny Smith Apples give just the right amount of tartness to this easy pork chop recipe.

When we got home from work, I went into a frenzy to see what I could "throw" together to accompany the apples and the pork. Fall was on my mind, with the weather being a bit cooler this week. When I think of fall, I think of things like freshly baked apple pie.

I knew that we could not have apple pie for dinner, but I thought that the idea of a sweet and savory sauce for the pork would be delicious. The kids would surely love it and so to the pantry I went. I wanted to find anything that screamed fall to me.

Cinnamon, cloves, brown sugar. Perfect, I thought. But I also needed something to make it savory as well. White onion, poultry seasoning, apple cider vinegar. That would help to balance out the flavors. White wine, too, seemed in order.

Add a cup of chicken broth to the pan.

Besides, what a great excuse for me to enjoy a glass. It's the least I deserved after a day of work, right? Right.

Now, I was in uncharted territory. The glass of wine was helping, but I wasn't sure where I was going with this recipe. I knew that it was going to be a little of this and a little of that, but what would happen if it was too little of that, or too much of this?

Return the seared pork chops to the pan.

One thing for certain, there was too much worry. Today was not that great of a day, with a lot of stress at work, as sometimes can happen.

Cooking normally calms me down and puts me in a much better mood. "Have fun with it," I thought, and so I dove in feet first and just enjoyed the process.

As I sauteed the pork chops and began the process the house started to warm. Then the onions and the apples were added, followed by the poultry seasoning, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves.

Make up a platter of these savory pork cutlets in no time.

Wow, my shoulders began to drop. The house was smelling like fall. Instead of the boys asking when dinner would be done, they started to make comments on the kitchen aroma as it made its way throughout the house.

As the wine and apple cider vinegar was added to create the sauce, the dish pulled together very nicely and as a bonus, very quickly. Things were looking up.

We sat at the table as a family and talked about the day. The events of school and work, the lessons we learned, and what we expected in the upcoming days. We enjoyed these pan-seared pork chops flavored with the taste of autumn, but even better we enjoyed each other.
