Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Heat 2 teaspoons.
oil in large ovenproof casserole or pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion; cook, covered, stirring
often, until onion is tender, about 4 to 6 minutes. Add thyme and garlic; stir 30 seconds. Transfer to
small bowl; set aside. Add remaining 1 tsp. oil to pan. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
Place in pan; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to plate. Remove pan from
heat. Add vinegar, brown sugar and remaining pepper; stir to dissolve sugar and scrape cooked bits from
pan. Add onion mixture, chopped apple and coleslaw mix. Heat over medium-high heat; stir until well blended
and liquid comes to a boil. Place pork chops on top of the coleslaw mixture, overlapping to fit. Cover
pan; place in oven. Bake until pork chops are juicy and just barely pink in center, about 15 minutes.
Garnish each serving with a fresh thyme sprig, if desired.
