4 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1 -2 tablespoon minced fresh garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (rubbed between fingers to release flavors)
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (can use table salt)
black pepper
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup butter (more as needed) or 1/4 cup margarine (more as needed)
APPLESAUCE
3 lbs apples (McIntosh or Gala apples are good fore this)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 pinch cinnamon (optional)

Preparation

In a dish mix together milk and 2 teaspoons salt (make sure that the salt is dissolved).
Add in pork chops.
Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 4 hours (turning once within the hour).
To make the applesauce: (this can be done a day ahead) peel, core and chop the apples.
Place into a saucepan and add in the remaining ingredients; bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer covered, stirring occasionally until apples are very soft and falling apart (this should take about 15-20 minutes, adjusting the sugar to taste).
Mash the apples with a fork; set aside.
For the pork chops: in a bowl mix together bread crumbs, garlic, rosemary, thyme and 1 teaspoon seasoning salt or white salt and pepper.
Lift the pork chops from the milk one at a time (shake off any excess milk).
Dredge in the pork chops, lightly, patting down with hands to adhere the crumbs to the chops.
Arrange onto a plate or tray.
Heat oil and butter in a skillet.
Saute the pork chops (without crowding in the pan) until golden brown, adding more butter to the pan if needed.
Serve the pork chops with applesauce.
Delicious!
