Instructions

Chop the apples and onion into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife.
Season the pork chops on both sides with the cinnamon, salt and pepper, and set aside.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the apples and onion to the skillet, and cook for 10 minutes. You want them to start to brown, but not fall apart, so when they get some color to them, move to the next step.
Remove the apples and onion from the heat, and place in a bowl or on a plate.
Add the other tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Turn the heat up to medium-high.
Place the seasoned pork chops into the skillet and sear until browned on the outside. (This is going to give them color, but it will not cook them all the way through unless they are very thin.)
Pour the wine on top of the pork chops, and use a wooden spoon to scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine come to a simmer.
Once the wine is bubbling, add the apples and onion back into the pan with the chops. Turn down the heat to medium-low. Cook until caramelized and until the pork's internal temperature reads 145°F, about 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops.
Serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes

How will I know when the pork is cooked through? The thickness of the pork chops will determine how long they need to cook. (The thicker they are, the longer they'll need.) The pork's internal temperature needs to be 145°F to be considered done. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork chop to take the temperature before removing the chops from the heat.
Substitution alert: If you don't drink or are feeding children these pork chops, you can use chicken or vegetable stock in place of the white wine.
