For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar in the apple compote. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg can add warmth to the apple mixture. If you don't have a grill, you can bake the pork chops in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 350°F). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a small saucepan, combine the diced apple, water, and sugar. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and have broken down into a pulpy compote. This should take about 10-20 minutes.
03
StepPlace the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. (10-14 minutes)
04
StepSpoon the apple compote evenly over the cooked pork chops. Top each chop generously with the shredded Cheddar cheese.
05
StepReturn the pork chops to the grill and continue cooking until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. (2-3 minutes)
06
StepRemove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
