BAKED PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND SAGE



Baked Pork Chops With Apples and Sage image

The tastes of Autumn in this recipe are enough to warm any winter day. It's not necessary to thicken the liquid, but it does help make a better sauce. It can be made ahead up to a certain point in the recipe, refrigerated and finished later. See directions.

Provided by Gourmand

Categories     Pork

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pork chops, 1 inch thick and with bone
2 medium onions, sliced
3 granny smith apples, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1 teaspoon sage, dried
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of butter with the oil in a large frying pan. Sauté the onions on medium high until golden. Layer in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Peel, core and slice the apples, the same size as if for a pie. Heat the remaining tbsp of butter in the same pan. Sauté the apples until they begin to soften and brown slightly. Remove and add to the onions.
  • Season both sides of the chops with salt and pepper. In the same pan, sear the pork chops on each side on high heat, two at a time. Use a little more oil if necessary. They should have a slightly browned crust but are not cooked through. Remove and arrange on top of the onions and apple slices.
  • If making ahead, stop at this point, cover the pan with foil and refrigerate.
  • Mix the cornstarch and water. Mix the apple cider, cinnamon and sage together, add the cornstarch, and pour over the chops. If desired, add more pepper and salt at this time.
  • Cover with foil and bake in the centre of the oven for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Bone-in pork chops will give you more flavor than boneless chops, but they will also take longer to cook. If you're using boneless chops, you can pound them out to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
  • Don't crowd the pan: When searing the pork chops, make sure to leave enough space between them so they can brown properly. If you crowd the pan, the chops will steam instead of sear.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that your pork chops are cooked perfectly is to use a meat thermometer. Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest: After cooking, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with apples and sage is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
