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.

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.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
4 5-ounce boneless pork chops (each about 3/4 inch thick)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 Golden Delicious or Rome Beauty apples, unpeeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1/3 cup unsweetened apple juice
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. Add pork to skillet; sauté 4 minutes. Sprinkle pork chops with 1/2 teaspoon oregano; turn pork chops and sauté just until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to plate; cover with foil.
  • Heat oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add apple and onion wedges and remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano. Sauté until apples and onion are tender and golden, about 10 minutes. Return pork and any accumulated juices to skillet. Pour apple juice and vinegar over; cook until pork is heated through and liquid is slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer pork and apple mixture to plates and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. If you're using thinner chops, you can butterfly them to increase their thickness.
  • To make sure your pork chops are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • For a crispy crust, sear the pork chops in a hot skillet before baking them in the oven.
  • If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute white vinegar or lemon juice.
  • To make the sauce thicker, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the skillet after the pork chops have been removed.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with sweet and sour apples is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
