One Pan Pork Chops with Apples and Onions image

This pork chops with apples and onions dish is a deliciously light and flavorful meal that's perfect for Fall. Plus, it's all made in ONE pan!

Provided by The Chunky Chef

Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Tbsp olive oil (divided)
3-4 oz bone-in pork chops (whatever with comfortably fit in your pan)
Kosher salt and black pepper (to taste)
3/4 cup low sodium chicken stock
1 tsp Dijon mustard (or whole-grain Dijon)
1 Tbsp fresh sage (chopped)
1 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
1/2 tsp fresh thyme (chopped)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 medium apples (thinly sliced (I used Gala))
1 small red onion (thinly sliced)

Steps:

  • Season both sides of pork chops with kosher salt and black pepper. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to large heavy bottomed pan (or skillet), and heat over MED-HIGH heat. Add pork chops to pan, leaving at least an inch between the chops to ensure even cooking and browning. Sear 3-5 minutes per side, or until pork chops are mostly done. Chops will continue cooking in the sauce later.
  • Remove pork chops to a plate.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together chicken stock and mustard, set aside.
  • Add remaining 1 Tbsp oil to the pan, then add apples and onions. Cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt, pepper, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Stir to combine.
  • Pour in stock mixture, using a wooden spoon to gently scrape the bottom of the pan to release any brown bits (those are full of great flavor).
  • Slide pork chops back into the pan, nestling them down in between the apples.
  • Cook 2-3 minutes, until pork chops are finished cooking and liquid has reduced by half.

BAKED PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES & ONIONS



Baked Pork Chops with Apples & Onions image

I was looking for something different from the standard fried pork chop which didn't take too much effort. I found a recipe that looked easy enough for baked pork chops and apples, and who doesn't like that combination? I made a few adjustments to make it a little more flavorful and the results were great!

Provided by Donna Graffagnino

Categories     Pork

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 1/2" thick bone-in pork chops
salt & pepper
4 medium apples
4 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp water
1 large onion, sliced (optional)
4 pats butter

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pat chops dry and salt & pepper on each side.
  • 2. Peel and quarter apples, remove core and slice about 1/4" thick. Put into a bowl and toss with brown sugar, cinnamon and water and set aside.
  • 3. In large oven proof skillet or chicken fryer, heat a little olive oil or margarine over high heat, just enough to coat the bottom of the skillet. Sear the chops on one side only for about 3-4 minutes or until nicely seared. Remove chops to a plate.
  • 4. Add apple mixture to the pan drippings in the skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 5-10 minutes or until liquid comes to a boil and apples just begin to soften. Remove from heat. Remove about half of the apples, add the sliced onions to the remaining apples in the skillet and toss well.
  • 5. Place chops over apples and onions, seared side up, top each chop with a pat of butter, and cover with remaining apples.
  • 6. Cover with lid or foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove and baste with liquid in the skillet. Cover and bake another 15 minutes or until internal temp reaches at least 145 degrees (medium-rare), 160 degrees (medium), or 170 degrees (well-done) on a meat thermometer.
  • 7. Allow to rest 15 minutes before serving. Meat temperature will continue to rise another 5-10 degrees while resting so keep that in mind when calculating when to remove your chops from the oven. *NOTE: If chops are boneless, cooking time may need to be reduced. If chops are thicker then oven time may need to be increased. *TIPS - for larger quantities, allow 1 apple, 1 T brown sugar, 1 pat butter per chop and 1 small onion per two additional chops. Sear chops in batches and after deglazing pan with apples and liquid transfer ingredients to a large baking pan, following layering instructions. Bake as instructed above.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS



Pork Chops with Apples and Onions image

Sauteed apples and onion combine with pork chops for a tastiness that never disappoints.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 bone-in pork chops (loin or shoulder), cut 3/4 inch thick
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large white onion, sliced
2 to 3 apples, cored and sliced (about 3 cups)
1 cup beer, white wine, cider, or chicken broth

Steps:

  • Trim the chops of excess fat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a 14-inch cast-iron skillet (if you have a smaller one, you'll need to work in batches) over high heat, and then swirl in the olive oil. Lay in the pork chops and don't move them for a few minutes, to assure a good golden sear forms. Turn and brown well on the second side for a total of about 10 minutes. Transfer the chops to a warm plate.
  • Swirl the butter into the pan. Add the onion and apples. Saute until the onion slices are lightly caramelized and the apples have begun to soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in the beer or other liquid. Return chops to the pan.
  • Cook until the pork is tender, about 15 more minutes (depending on the size of the chops), turning halfway through and covering the chops with the apple mixture. If the apple mixture needs a little thickening, transfer the chops to the warm plate again and simmer the mixture on high for a few minutes to reduce. Serve the chops over rice or mashed potatoes with a large spoonful of the apple-onion mixture over the top.

AUTUMN APPLE ONION PORK CHOPS



Autumn Apple Onion Pork Chops image

This is a fairly common autumn dish in Indiana. It always reminds me of local harvest festivals. Crimson and gold leaves under foot, hay rides, the crisp sweet smell of the air...comfort food, pure and simple. There are many variations, but this is the favorite in our home. To be honest, I've never measured the spices before I sat down to write this, so please feel free to adjust to your own tastes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well: Before baking, season the pork chops generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help enhance their flavor.
  • Use a heavy-duty baking dish: A heavy-duty baking dish will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the pork chops from drying out.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure there is enough space between the pork chops so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the pork chops at a high temperature: This will help sear the outside of the chops and keep them juicy on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pork chops baked with apples and onions is a classic dish that is both delicious and easy to make. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try.
