• Rinse and dry pork chops
• Add flour to a plate
• On a different plate, combine panko, thyme, and salt and pepper
• Add milk to bowl
• Dip pork chop in the milk and then into the flour. Dust off excess flour
• Dip pork chop in milk again and then into the panko and herb mixture. You may need to press the panko into it a little to get it to stick, but you don't need a thick crust.
• Set crusted pork chops on a cooling rack while you heat the oil.
• Heat olive oil over moderate heat in Cast iron or other heavy bottomed pan until it is hot and thinly covering the bottom of the pan.
• Place pork chops carefully into the oil.
• Cook about 5 minutes per side, or until crust is nicely browned and internal temperature is 145F.

Pumpkin Spiced Applesauce Instructions

• Peel and chop apples into large chunks
• Add all ingredients into pot and stir together well.
• Cook on medium heat with lid on, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes.
• Once apples soften and cook down, remove them from heat and mash them to desired smoothness. If you like your applesauce chunky, you can simply use a fork or potato masher. If you like it very smooth, you can use an immersion blender or food processor to blend.
• Serve it with Thyme Crusted Pork Chops, and any leftover applesauce can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
