Pork Chops with Apples
These pork chops with apples are tender and juicy pork chops seasoned with herbs and cinnamon, cooked alongside sweet onions and tangy apples.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in thick cut pork chops
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium-sized apples cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 large sweet onion peeled, trimmed, and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
- 2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup apple cider
Instructions
- Season the pork chops with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides and set aside.
- In a large 12-inch high-sided skillet add olive oil and set over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the pork chops and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. It's okay if the pork is not fully cooked to temperature as it will be added back to the pan later.
- Remove the pork chops from the pan and set aside until ready to use again.
- In the same skillet, add the apples, onions, sage, rosemary, thyme, and cinnamon. If the pan did not have extra oil you can add a tablespoon of olive oil.
- Saute the apples and onions until they just start to soften.
- Add in the flour and stir to combine. The mixture will look dry, this is normal.
- Pour in the chicken stock and apple cider and stir to combine. You should not see any clumps of flour remaining.
- Add the pork chops back into the pan (with their drippings!) and nestle them among the apples and onions.
- Lower the heat the medium and gently simmer until the pork has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
- Serve pork chops with the apples and onions and a spoonful of the "gravy" in the pan.
