Pork Chops with Apple Rings

This gem is from my mother-in-law.  It's one that I can actually replicate.  She is one of those really great cooks whose recipes usually involve "a little of this"  "just enough of that" "you just cook it until it's done".  I watch her make them, write everything down, follow it exactly and it never tastes the same.  So I usually just wait and consider it a treat to enjoy those foods when I'm at her house.  But with this one I can actually come pretty close to making it taste like Nana's.  And it's great for this long-awaited fall weather we are having now!

Pork Chops with Apple Rings

4-6 Pork Chops
1-2 apples
brown sugar
salt and pepper
cinnamon
butter

Salt and pepper the chops.  Brown them on both sides in a large skillet, and then place them in a greased 9x13 pan.  Core apples and slice into rings.  Place 1-2 rings over each pork chop.  Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over both sides of the apple rings.  Dollop butter on the apples.  Bake at 325 for about 1 hour.
