Preparation Time: 80 Minutes • Cooking Time: 4 hours • Servings: 4

Ingredients:
4 boneless pork chops
½ cup of BBQ Rub (recipe below)
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons water
2 Spanish onions
2 apples, Granny Smith
2 tablespoons butter
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon dry mustard
⅓ teaspoon nutmeg
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions: Preheat the electric smoker and place apple wood chips in the smoke box. Let it heat for about 50 minutes. Meanwhile, season the pork chops, ribs or chicken with the BBQ rub. Then place the meat or chicken on a baking sheet. Then, covered it with the aluminum foil. Set the temperature of the preheated smoker to 225 degrees F. Insert the digital thermometer in the thickest part of the pork chop. Set the internal temperate to 200 degrees F. Place baking sheet with the chop into the smoker. Smoke the chops for about 4 hours.
Meanwhile, make the compote by adding oil to the skillet and heat it over the low flame. Now add onion and cook until soft. It took about 15 minutes at low heat. Take out the onion and add apples with water, and cook until turn golden. Melt the butter in the same pan and add cinnamon, dry mustard, and nutmeg. Add onions back to the pan and mix well. Season it with salt and pepper. Once chops are cooked, serve it with prepared compote
