Steps:
- Pat dry pork chops with paper towels.
- Brush pork chops with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Allow the pork chops to rest while you prepare the apples as follows below. This brings pork chops closer to room temperature which will help them sear better.
- I used 2 apples (1 red Gala apple and 1 green Granny Smith apple, for presentation purposes). Core the apples and slice each one length-wise.
- Place sliced apples into a large bowl, add brown sugar, cinnamon, and mix. Let apples sit for about 10 minutes to release juices.
- In a large pan (I used a large stainless steel skillet), heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil on high heat. Add sliced apples (without juice at the bottom of the pan) and cook on high heat for about 3 minutes on one side, checking periodically. After 3 or 5 minutes, flip sliced apples to the other side, reduce heat to medium and cook the apples for another 3 or 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Cook the apples in a single layer, without overcrowding to get a slightly "roasted" appearance. That means you might have to cook apples in 2 batches. Use the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter for the second batch.
- Depending on how hot your stove gets, it might take you less or more time to cook apples, the key is to brown them or even get a slightly "burned" effect. But don't overdo it, remove the cooked apples from the skillet once the apples have this "roasted" appearance.
- Right after you remove the pan with roasted sliced apples from the heat, immediately add honey to the hot skillet - it will make apples sizzle and will caramelize them beautifully, off the heat.
- For best searing results, use a cast-iron skillet. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes to heat it through.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil - the oil should shimmer. Add the pork chops, and cook them on one side for 5 minutes, without moving.
- Reduce the heat to medium, flip the pork chops over to the other side, and cook them on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Cook longer (depending on the thickness of your pork chops) until the pork chops are cooked through.
- Spoon the cooked apples, together with the sauce from cooking the apples, over the pork chops. Top with fresh thyme.

Steps:

Tips:
- For the perfect sear, pat pork chops dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Allow them to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Heat your skillet over medium-high heat before adding the pork chops. This will help create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook the pork chops in batches if necessary to avoid steaming them.
- Cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
- While the pork chops are cooking, make the brown sugar glazed apples. Simply sauté apples in butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until they are tender and caramelized.
- Once the pork chops and apples are cooked, top the pork chops with the apples and crispy bacon. Serve immediately.
Conclusion:
This pan-seared pork chop recipe is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the brown sugar glazed apples and bacon add a sweet and savory touch. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
