Steps:
- *Preheat oven to 400° F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush pork chops lightly with oil then season with a little salt and black pepper and place in hot skillet. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes on each side, until pork has a nice golden crust. Transfer to a baking pan and bake about 20 minutes, or until chops are done. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, stir together the brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt and pepper. Set aside. Melt butter in a medium skillet (that has a cover) then stir in the apples and brown sugar mixture. Cover the skillet and cook until apples are crisp tender. (I checked with a toothpick.) Remove apples from the syrup with a slotted spoon. Continue cooking the syrup in skillet, uncovered, until thickened somewhat. Arrange the apples over the cooked pork chops then spoon the syrup over apples and chops. NOTE: *I finished the pork chops on the stovetop instead of baking them. After searing them on both sides in the hot skillet, I reduced the heat, covered the skillet, and cooked until they were done.

Steps:
- For Pork Chops Brine: To brine pork, combine salt, sugar and the 4 cups water in a large glass or enamel bowl, mixing until dissolved.
- Add peppercorns, thyme and bay leaves and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
- Place pork chops in a large resealable ziplock bag, cover with brine and close tightly. Place the bag in a large bowl and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- To Finish Pork Chops: Preheat a barbecue grill to 400°F.
- Line a plate with paper towels. Using tongs, remove pork chops from the brine and set on the lined plate to absorb any liquid. (If the pork chops are damp, the meat will flame on the barbecue.) Discard the brine. Allow pork chops to come to room temperature, 15-20 minutes, then season with salt and black pepper and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Grill chops for 5 minutes, then turn them 45° and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn chops over, and grill for 5 minutes, then turn them 45° and grill for 5 minutes more. Insert a meat thermometer; once the meat reads 160°F, immediately remove chops from the heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Fold pecans into the apple-pineapple relish. Divide the Brussels sprouts mixture between each of 4 plates. Place a pork chop over the sprouts and spoon a tablespoon of the apple mixture on top. Serve immediately.
- To Make Apple-Pineapple Relish: In a large bowl, toss apple with lemon juice until well coated. Add pineapple, rice vinegar and honey and set aside. This relish will keep (without the pecans, which are added just before serving) refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- For the Braised Brussels Sprouts: Line a small plate with a paper towel. In a medium frying pan on medium heat, cook bacon until lightly crispy, about 5 minutes. (If the meat begins to smoke, reduce the heat.) Remove bacon from the pan and drain on the lined plate. Carefully pour off some of the rendered fat, then add shallots and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in Brussels sprouts and cook for 2 more minutes, then add bacon and butter and toss lightly. Season with salt, black pepper and lemon juice. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.

Steps:
- Place meat in a plastic bag.
- In a small bowl, mix apple and lemon juices, sage, brown sugar and onion and stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Pour over meat.
- Close bag tightly and turn to coat chops well.
- Place in a bowl and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
- Remove chops from marinade and drain well.
- Place marinade in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and continue to boil for one full minute.
- Grill chops over hot coals for 20 minutes, turning and basting with marinade occasionally.
- Core apples but do not peel.
- Cut into thick rings.
- Brush apples with marinade and place on grill around pork.
- Continue grilling pork and apples until pork is done as desired and apples are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from grill and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- For a crispier crust on the pork chops, sear them in a hot skillet before transferring them to the grill.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the pork chops in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- To prevent the apples from burning, toss them in a little bit of oil before roasting.
- You can also add other vegetables to the roasted apple mixture, such as sweet potatoes, butternut squash, or carrots.
- For a more flavorful caramelized onion sauce, use a good quality balsamic vinegar.
- If you don't have any balsamic vinegar, you can substitute red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- To make the Brussels sprouts more tender, trim the ends and then slice them in half.
- You can also steam the Brussels sprouts in a microwave for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Conclusion:
This recipe for grilled pork chops with roasted apples and steamed Brussels sprouts in caramelized onions is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, the apples are sweet and tender, and the Brussels sprouts are perfectly cooked and coated in a rich caramelized onion sauce.
