Cheesy Pork Chops w/ Spiced Apple by E. Seaton

Yum, yum! The "other" white meat wins again! This is a great meal to kick off Fall. Happy leaf-falling everyone!

* 1 tablespoon butter
* 1 onion, sliced
* 1 pinch red pepper flakes
* 1 apple, cored and sliced
* 2 teaspoons white sugar
* 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
* 4 pork chops
* salt and pepper to taste
* 4 slices extra sharp Cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS
1. Prepare a grill for high heat.
2. While the grill heats, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until soft. Season with red pepper flakes then add the sliced apple. Stir in the sugar and balsamic vinegar, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until apples are soft and golden.
3. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Spoon the onions and apples on top of the chops, and top with a slice of Cheddar cheese.
4. Cover the grill, and cook for about 3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling.
