Apple Pork Chops
This 30-minute Apple Pork Chops recipe simmers seared pork chops, caramelized onions, and sliced apples in a savory-sweet pan sauce to give you a cozy and satisfying fall dinner.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 bone-in pork chops about 1" thick
- salt and black pepper
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 large apple thinly sliced
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/2 cup chicken broth divided
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and cook for 4 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, then add the butter. Once it’s melted, add the onion, apple and a pinch of salt and sauté until soft, 8-12 minutes.
- Next, add the honey and stir to combine, then pour in ¼ cup of chicken broth.
- Nestle the pork chops back in, place a lid on the skillet and cook until the pork chops are cooked through, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so the onions don’t burn.
- While the pork chops are cooking, whisk the remaining broth and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Once the 10 minutes are up, remove the lid and pour the broth/cornstarch mixture into the skillet and simmer for 2 more minutes or until the sauce thickens, reducing the heat as needed. You want the onions to be deeply caramelized, but you don’t want them to burn.
- Remove from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley, thyme or rosemary. Enjoy!
