Gary Rhodes - Pork Chops With Apple Tart Topping is a delicious and easy-to-make main course that is perfect for a family dinner. The pork chops are seasoned with melted butter, salt, and pepper, then grilled until golden brown and cooked through. The dish is then topped with a mixture of chopped apples, sugar, and lemon juice that has been cooked until soft and spooned into hollowed-out apples. The apples add a tart sweetness to the dish, which balances the rich flavors of the pork.

4.	Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
5.	Take the whole apples and slice the top off each one.
6.	Scoop out the core of each apple to make a small hole.
7.	Fill each apple with the cooked apple mixture.
8.	Brush each pork chop with melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
9.	Heat a griddle pan until hot, then cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side.
10.	Transfer the pork chops to a baking tray and place an apple on top of each chop.
11.	Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.
