Preparation

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine apples, sugar, raisins, vinegar, ginger and cayenne pepper; cook over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until apples are soft, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally; season chops with salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large skillet coated with water/oil mixture over medium-high heat; add pork chops and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve topped with apple relish.
