Pork: Boneless Chops Baked with Apple Butter

Earlier this week I was on a mission to bake a healthier cookie. I did some research on butter substitutes. One option is fruit puree. More on that later, but my point is that I stumbled upon this stuff called Apple Butter. It's pureed apples and apple cider. No butter involved. Fat free. I wasn't having luck with the sweets, so I thought I'd try it on something else. Boneless pork chops looked amazing at Trader Joe's. And voila! A delicious dinner idea was born.

I found this apple butter in the peanut butter & jelly area in Stop'n'Shop. I think they have all different types of fruit puree at specialty stores, health food stores, and standard grocery stores. It should be easy to find. I chose this one because it's 100% fruit and fruit juice. Some varieties had stuff that I couldn't pronounce.
