2. Cinnamon Apple Pork Chops
Why it’s healthy: An apple a day keeps the doctor away! Apple are rich in antioxidants and also dietary fiber.

What you need:
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter, divided
- 4 boneless pork loin chops (4 ounces each)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
