With fresh sage and apple, this dish is tasty, easy and done in a flash. The recipe says garlic butter, but I keep a jar with three cloves of garlic covered in olive oil and use that instead. The garlic oil is delicious for salads also. -Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in, center-cut pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. These will cook evenly and stay moist.
  • Season the pork chops well: Pork chops can easily become bland, so be sure to season them well with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also use a marinade to add extra flavor.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the pork chops and keep them juicy on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the desired doneness: The safe internal temperature for pork is 145 degrees Fahrenheit. If you cook the pork chops past this temperature, they will become dry and tough.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork chop.

Conclusion:

Skillet apple pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out perfectly cooked and flavorful every time.
