1 head Onion - Chopped
2 piece Apples - Cored, Thinly Sliced
1/4 cup Lemon Juice

Sprinkle both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper. Melt Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt in 12-inch skillet over high heat until sizzling. Add pork chops; cook, turning once, 6-8 minutes or until pork is browned. Remove pork chops from pan; keep warm.
Reduce heat to medium; add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1-2 minutes or until onions begin to soften. Add apples and lemon juice; continue cooking 3-4 minutes or until apples just begin to soften.
Reduce heat to low; return pork chops to pan. Cover; cook 6-10 minutes or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. and is no longer pink. Remove pork chops from pan; keep warm.
Add maple syrup to pan. Increase heat to medium-high; cook, stirring occasionally, 5-7 minutes or until sauce comes to a boil and thickens.
