Barbecued Pork Chops and Sauteed Apples

We love this Cooking Light recipe and so do all the guests we've served it to. It's super easy and can be cooked on the grill in the summer or under the broiler in the fall and winter. We love to serve it with baked sweet potatoes.

Barbecued Pork Chops

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 pork chop and 1 1/2 tablespoons sauce)

Ingredients

Sauce:
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

Remaining ingredients:
6 (6-ounce) bone-in center-cut pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
Cooking spray

Prepare grill or broiler.

To prepare sauce, combine the first 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Place 1/4 cup sauce in a small bowl, and set aside.

Trim fat from pork. Combine the thyme, garlic salt, and pepper; sprinkle over pork. Place pork on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray; cook 6 minutes on each side, basting with remaining sauce. Serve pork chops with reserved 1/4 cup sauce.
