Apple Pork Chops

This takes very little time to prepare.  The recipe calls for this to bake for about an hour, but if you use a meat thermometer, you can tell as soon as it's done.  The National Pork Board (yes, they really exist) recommends 145 degrees for medium rare and 160 for medium, followed by a 3-minute rest (the pork, not you).  I find that 145 degrees is fine.
