How to Make Pork Chops With Fried Apples

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place flour in a separate shallow dish.
  3. Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

  11. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  12. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly over medium heat until the gravy thickens.
  13. Pour gravy into a serving bowl.
