SMOKED PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES
I was looking for something new to do with some smoked pork chops and I found a recipe on cooks.com that I altered slightly. The original called for cranberry-apple drink rather than cider. The glaze never really thickened for me, but it the chops were still delicious. I used MacIntosh apples, unpeeled. My kids and husband cleaned their plates and my husband has already requested that I make it again.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; swirl in oil. Cook chops until golden brown, turning once, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Remove all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add potatoes and onion; season with salt. Cook until golden in spots, about 10 minutes. Add vinegar and cider. Cover and simmer, stirring a few times, until potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with caraway seeds. Return pork and juices to skillet; tuck apple slices between chops. Roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of chops (without touching bone) registers 138 degrees, about 10 minutes. Serve pork, vegetables, and apples with pan juices.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: For this recipe, bone-in pork chops are best. They will stay moist and flavorful during the smoking process.
- Use a good quality apple: The apples in this recipe add a touch of sweetness and acidity. Choose a firm, crisp apple that will hold its shape when cooked.
- Don't overcrowd the smoker: When smoking the pork chops, make sure to leave enough space between them so that the smoke can circulate properly.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the pork chops are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: After the pork chops are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
Conclusion:
Smoked pork chops with apple and sweet potato is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The pork chops are tender and flavorful, and the apples and sweet potatoes add a touch of sweetness and acidity. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
