Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Cover a small baking sheet in foil.  Spray unflavored non-stick cooking spray onto the foil.  Set aside.  

In a skillet over medium heat, spray unflavored non-stick cooking spray.  Season both sides of pork tenderloin or chop with pepper, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the thyme leaves.  Place pork in a hot skillet and brown for 2 minutes per side, when you flip the pork, add the garlic for the last 2 minutes.  

Transfer the pork/garlic to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees (do not overcook).  

In the same skillet that you cooked the pork, add the spiralized small apple, (or sliced), celery, onion, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon thyme and a dash of pepper.  

Cook for 2 minutes.  You don't want the fruit/veggies to be soggy. Place on a dinner plate, top with one pork loin or chop.  Enjoy!
