Place bread crumbs in shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, lightly beat egg with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dip pork in egg, then roll in crumbs.

Add squash, and apples. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes until crisp-tender, turning squash slices once. Arrange squash and apples around cutlets. Toss spinach into skillet. Add spinach to serving platter. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg and cinnamon.
