Are the apples just fried apples? I know that sounds terrible, but it is really wonderful. When I make pork chops I sometimes add the apples (cored, peeled, and cut in slices) at the end, and pan 'fry' it, now a days there is usually not much oil, but you may add a little, as the apples get soft add a little sugar(a small amount a teaspoon is plenty), either plain or brown to the apples. I usually serve then. Some may add cinnamon.
