These pork chops are a fantastic way to take advantage of fall flavors. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger. Or, you can just skip the spice mixture and add a second cinnamon stick.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon olive oil
2 (1-inch-thick) boneless pork chops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Granny Smith apples, sliced
1 cinnamon stick
2 sage leaves, minced
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Set the Instant Pot to "sauté, medium heat." Once it reads "hot," add the oil and pork chops, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, and brown for 5 minutes, turning them over halfway through.
  • Transfer the pork chops to a plate. Add the apples, cinnamon stick, sage, pumpkin pie spice, applesauce, and water to the pot. Mix to combine and return the pork chops to the pot.
  • Cover and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
  • Remove the pork chops and half the apples to a plate to rest. Set the pot to "sauté, medium heat" and cook to boil down the sauce until thickened, about 10 minutes. Pour the sauce over the pork chops and apples and serve.

  • Add apples and cinnamon to the braising liquid. This will give the pork chops a delicious sweet and savory flavor.
  • Cook the pork chops until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. This will usually take about 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
