 1. Trim most of the fat from the chops. 2. Quarter,
 core and peel the apples. 3. Heat the oil in the
 skillet large enough to hold the chops in one layer.

 side, 2-3 min. Turn and cook on the other side about
 2-3 min. Continue cooking the chops about 15 min.,
 turning them often. 4. Arrange the apple quarters
 around the chops. Cover closely and cook 5 min. 5.
 Transfer the chops and apple quarters to a warmed
 platter and keep hot. 6. Pour off the fat from the
 skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until
 wilted. Add the brown sugar and vinegar and stir. Add
 the tomato and chicken broth. Stir to dissolve the
 brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of
 the skillet. Cook, stirring, about 2 min. 7. Add any
 liquid that has accumulated around the chops. Cook
 until the sauce has reduced to about 3/4 cups. 8. Pour
 the sauce over the chops and apples.
