Pork chops and apples are a classic combination that is both delicious and easy to make. The pork chops are seared until golden brown and then braised in a mixture of apple cider, chicken broth, and spices. The apples are added during the last 15 minutes of cooking, so they retain their shape and texture. This dish is served over mashed potatoes or rice and is perfect for a weeknight meal.
The article also includes recipes for three other pork chop dishes:
- **Pork Chops with Applesauce**: This recipe is similar to the first one, but it uses applesauce instead of fresh apples. The applesauce is added to the braising liquid along with the pork chops and cooked until the pork is tender. The result is a creamy, flavorful sauce that is perfect for serving over pork chops and mashed potatoes.
- **Pork Chops with Apples and Onions**: This recipe uses both apples and onions to create a sweet and savory dish. The pork chops are seared in a skillet and then cooked in a mixture of apple cider, chicken broth, and spices. The apples and onions are added during the last 15 minutes of cooking, so they retain their crunch. This dish is served over rice or noodles.
- **Pork Chops with Apple Cranberry Sauce**: This recipe is perfect for a holiday meal. The pork chops are seared in a skillet and then cooked in a mixture of apple cider, cranberry juice, and spices. The apple cranberry sauce is added during the last 15 minutes of cooking, so it thickens and becomes flavorful. This dish is served over mashed potatoes or stuffing.

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.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season the pork chops generously with salt. Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring it to a high heat. Sear the pork on both sides and on the fat edge, working in batches if the chops don't all fit in the pan at the same time. Be sure not to crowd the pan. Remove the pork from the pan and place on a cookie sheet. Finish the pork in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Ditch the excess fat from the saute pan. Give a drizzle of fresh olive oil and add the onions and crushed red pepper and season with salt. Cook until the onions become soft and aromatic. Add the apples, cinnamon and rosemary and toss to coat with the oil. Add the cider and cook until the cider has reduced by two-thirds and the onion-apple mixture is very soft and saucy. Serve over the pork chops.
- Porky deliciousness!
PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES
These moist tender chops get delicious flavor from Dijon mustard, onions and apple slices. Or try replacing the apples with pineapple rings for an appealing variation. I like to serve mashed sweet potatoes with this main course, along with a simple salad.
