I made slight variations to the below recipe: I substitued apple cider vinegar for the water (which the cornstarch is dissolved) and added 2 small apples and 1 onion, both wedged (apple cored) to the pan while the pork chops were cooking. The chops were heavenly and at only about 200 or so calories each, a healthful meal :) I use boneless chops -- for me it makes for easier cooking, eating, and reheating of leftovers
Enjoy:)

Grilled Apple-Ginger Glazed Chops
SUBMITTED BY: Pam Anderson
"Grilled pork chops are basted with a flavorful sauce of apple juice, brown sugar and a touch of ground ginger."
- 4 boneless pork chops, 1-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple juice
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
- Brush chops with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar, juice, soy sauce and ginger to a boil. Dissolve cornstarch in water and whisk into sauce until smooth. Simmer until slightly thickened.
- Place chops on hot grill. Cook, continuously brushing with sauce until grill marks form, about 5 minutes per side. Brush with sauce once more and continue to grill, turning once, until glaze sets or until internal temperature is 160 degrees F( 70 degrees C).
