Combine first 8 ingredients in a medium pot placed over medium high heat and cook until chunky sauce forms, 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. It should be allowed to reduce and form quickly. Once apples are soft and sauce forms, remove it from heat.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to pan. Season chops with S & P. Cook chops until brown and start to caramelize. Remove from heat and let the rest. Deglaze the pan with a splash of apple juice and 2 Tbsp of butter. Pour pan sauce over chops. Remove ginger piece from sauce and top chops with generous portions of warm applesauce.
