Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
3 cloves
4 allspice berries
2 tablespoons roughly chopped sage
1 and 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
6 boneless pork chops, 4 ounces each, about 1/2-inch thick
2 large apples
2 tablespoons butter
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 cup hard cider, plus 2 tablespoons
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 and 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons potato starch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water
3 tablespoons crème fraîche
1 tablespoon Calvados, apple brandy or Cognac, optional
2 tablespoons finely cut chives
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Make the spice salt: Put peppercorns, cloves, allspice and sage in a spice mill or mortar and grind to a powder. Remove to a bowl and stir in salt. Season pork chops on both sides with salt mixture. (There will be some salt mixture remaining; use it to season the sauce, Step 4.) Cover and leave chops at room temperature to absorb seasonings for at least 30 minutes.
  • Peel, quarter and core apples, then cut each apple into 12 wedges. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide skillet and raise heat to medium-high. Add apple wedges in one layer and brown gently on one side, about 2 minutes. Brown on the other side and cook for 2 minutes more, or until apples are cooked through but still firm. Remove apples from pan and keep warm.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to pan and swirl to melt. Dust pork chops with flour, and place in pan and brown gently for about 4 minutes per side. Adjust heat if necessary to keep pork from cooking too quickly. Remove chops and keep warm on a platter in a low oven. Discard remaining butter.
  • Add ½ cup cider to pan, raise heat to high and cook down to a syrup. Add mustard and chicken broth, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add potato starch and stir with a wire whisk as the sauce thickens. Stir in crème fraîche. Season to taste with remaining spiced salt. Add 2 tablespoons cider and the Calvados, if using. Cook for 1 minute more.
  • Spoon sauce over the chops, then spoon the apples around the platter. Sprinkle with chives and parsley.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Pork Chops: Choose bone-in pork chops, as they tend to be more flavorful and juicy compared to boneless ones. Look for chops that are about 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Tenderizing the Pork Chops: To ensure tender and succulent pork chops, consider using a meat mallet or tenderizer to gently pound them before cooking. This helps break down the muscle fibers, resulting in a more tender texture.
  • Seasoning the Pork Chops: Don't shy away from seasoning the pork chops generously. A combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika works well. You can also add your favorite herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile.
  • Searing the Pork Chops: Before baking, sear the pork chops in a pan over medium-high heat. This creates a delicious crust on the outside while keeping the inside moist and juicy. Make sure to sear the chops for a few minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown color.
  • Using a Quality Apple Cider: The apple cider used in the recipe plays a crucial role in adding flavor to the pork chops. Opt for a high-quality, unfiltered apple cider that is made from fresh apples. Avoid using apple cider that contains added sugar or preservatives.
  • Adding Vegetables: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the baking dish. Some great options include sliced apples, onions, carrots, and potatoes. These vegetables will roast in the apple cider, absorbing its flavors and adding another layer of taste to the dish.
  • Baking Time: The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops. As a general guideline, bake the pork chops for about 20-25 minutes per inch of thickness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.

Conclusion:

With its tender and juicy pork chops, flavorful apple cider sauce, and roasted vegetables, this Apple Cider Baked Pork Chops recipe is a delightful dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, along with the simplicity of preparation, makes it a crowd-pleaser. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply looking for a comforting meal, this recipe is sure to deliver. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to indulge in a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds dancing!
