PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season the pork chops generously with salt. Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring it to a high heat. Sear the pork on both sides and on the fat edge, working in batches if the chops don't all fit in the pan at the same time. Be sure not to crowd the pan. Remove the pork from the pan and place on a cookie sheet. Finish the pork in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Ditch the excess fat from the saute pan. Give a drizzle of fresh olive oil and add the onions and crushed red pepper and season with salt. Cook until the onions become soft and aromatic. Add the apples, cinnamon and rosemary and toss to coat with the oil. Add the cider and cook until the cider has reduced by two-thirds and the onion-apple mixture is very soft and saucy. Serve over the pork chops.
- Porky deliciousness!
AUTUMN APPLE ONION PORK CHOPS
This is a fairly common autumn dish in Indiana. It always reminds me of local harvest festivals. Crimson and gold leaves under foot, hay rides, the crisp sweet smell of the air...comfort food, pure and simple. There are many variations, but this is the favorite in our home. To be honest, I've never measured the spices before I sat down to write this, so please feel free to adjust to your own tastes.

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.

Steps:
- Slash the edges of the chops in 1 or 2 places to prevent curling. To make the rub, in a small bowl combine the sage, salt, and pepper. Rub the pork chops all over with the rub. Let stand at room temperature for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour, or cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature, if necessary, before cooking.
- In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chops and brown for about 2 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to medium and cover the pan. Cook until the meat is lightly pink near the bone or an instant-read thermometer inserted away from the bone registers 145 degrees F (63 C), 4-5 minutes longer. Transfer the chops to a platter and tent them loosely with aluminum foil while you make the sauce.
- Pour off all but 1 Tb of the drippings from the pan. Add the onion and apple and saute until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the vermouth and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Spoon the apple and onion mixture onto individual plates. Place the pork chops on top, drizzle with the pan juices, and serve.
