Categories     main-dish

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

8 cups chicken stock
6 ounces frozen concentrated Granny Smith apple juice
1/4 cup tightly packed dark brown sugar
8 whole black peppercorns
Salt
1 1/2 cups maple syrup
1/4 cup prepared horseradish, drained
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1/2 cup ancho chile powder
1/2 cup pasilla chile powder
1/2 cup chopped garlic
1 center cut pork loin (9 bones)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup coarsely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
2 tablespoons finely diced ginger
2 medium oranges, zest removed and finely sliced, flesh cut into segments
2 cups fresh orange juice
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons finely diced red pepper
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the stock, apple juice, sugar and peppercorns in a medium saucepan over high heat and reduce to 3 cups. Season to taste with salt and strain through a fine strainer.Mix all ingredients until well combined.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the chile powders and garlic.
  • Season the pork loin to taste with salt and pepper and rub all surfaces with the chile mixture. In a large roasting pan, roast the loin until medium rare, about 40 minutes.
  • When cool enough to handle, cut between the bones into 8 chops. In a heavy ridged grill pan, sear the chops 3 minutes on each side until grill marked. Place on a serving platter and brush with maple glaze. Serve with sauce and chutney on the side.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the onion and jalapeno until the onion is translucent.
  • Add the ginger, orange zest, orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar and honey and cook until the sauce is reduced by half and has a glazed appearance. Reduce the heat to low, add two thirds of the apple slices, and cook until the fruit is just tender.
  • Turn off the heat and gently fold in the remaining apples and the orange segments. Pour the chutney into a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Mix in the cilantro, red bell pepper and salt and pepper to taste.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes     Stuffed

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
4 thick cut pork chops
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 cups cornflake crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Mix together the apple pie filling and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Lay each chop on cutting board and, with a sharp knife held parallel to the board, cut a pocket into the chop going all the way to the bone and leaving the sides intact. Fill each pocket with one quarter of the filling mixture (about 1/2 cup). Coat the pork chops with maple syrup, then dredge them in the cornflake crumbs until completely covered. Place chops in baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Brining the chops: Brining the chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar helps to tenderize and flavor them. You can brine the chops for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cooking the chops: Cook the chops over medium heat until they are browned on both sides and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Making the apple-maple sauce: The apple-maple sauce is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to the chops. Simply cook the apples, maple syrup, and spices in a saucepan until the apples are softened and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serving the chops: Serve the chops with the apple-maple sauce and your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Apple-maple chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chops are tender and flavorful, and the apple-maple sauce is a perfect complement. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
