This is a recipe I made up years ago, playing around with different ingredients. My family and friends love this recipe and even my son Aaron, a chef in Alaska, wanted to know what I put in it.

Heat the olive oil in a separate pan.

Season both sides of each pork chop with the garlic salt, pepper, and cardamom. Add the pork chops to the hot pan.

Remove the pan from the burner and spoon the apples on top of each pork chop. Pour the port into the bottom of the pan and light with a match, watching to be sure not to burn yourself.

Once the fire is out, return the pan to the cooktop and lower the heat. Cover with a lid.
