    1/2 tsp (2mL) each salt and pepper
    1 lb (500 g) lean ground pork

Caramelized Onions:
In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry onion, stirring occasionally, until turning golden, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar and vinegar; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, place patties on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook, turning once, until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Cut buns in half; place, cut sides down, on grill and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

Place lettuce, apple, patties then onions on bottoms of buns; sandwich with tops.
