Oh! This was so good!
I made the spiced apples with Honey Crisp apples. They also paired up really well with some crunchy peanut butter. After peeling and chopping apples, I squirted some lemon juice on them to keep them from browning. In a pot, I gently started boiling water while I added sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. I then added the chopped apples and cooked them. They were so good that I kept some in a separate bowl to eat later with ice cream.
I like my cornbread really corny. I make it with cornmeal, egg, butter, and buttermilk. I added bacon to make it salty and chopped chipotle pepper to make it spicy. I cooked it just like Deborah and Larry showed me. I use a cast iron skillet. I heat it up on the stove top with vegetable oil or bacon drippings. When it's nice and hot, I pour in the batter. The batter bubbles on the edges. I wait to see little bubbles popping open in the center and then pop it into the oven. I bake it until it is brown and crusty.
The pork chops come next. I always splurge and buy some that are thicker and with the loin attached. I sometimes brine them sometimes not. Today, not. I seared the chops in a hot pan on both sides. I then nestled the pork chops on a bed of cornbread and covered the pan with aluminum foil. I baked them at 350 until done.
Perfect
It sounds good!
