In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.  Add pork chops, and cook until browned on one side, about 2 minutes.  Turn over and brown the second side, an additional 2 minutes.  Remove pork chops from the pan, place them on a nonstick baking sheet, and put in the oven to cook for an additional 10 minutes (to a minimum internal temperature of 160 °F).
  4. Add chicken broth to the sauté pan and stir to loosen the flavorful brown bits.  Set aside for later.

  6. Add cranberries, orange juice, and saved broth with flavorful brown bits. Bring to a boil, and then lower to a gentle simmer. Simmer for up to 10 minutes, or until the cranberries are plump and the apples are tender. Remove the cinnamon stick.
  7. Peel the orange used for the zest, and cut it into eight sections for garnish.
  8. Serve one pork chop with ¼ cup of sauce and two orange segments.
