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.

Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 onions, thinly sliced

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.

Serve over the pork chops.

4 boneless center-cut pork chops (1 1/4 pounds), cut 3/4 inch thick
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 green apples (such as Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Pinch of cayenne pepper

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.

  • Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar helps to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Sear the pork chops: Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet until they are browned on both sides. This will help to lock in the juices and create a delicious crust.
  • Bake the pork chops: After searing, bake the pork chops in a preheated oven until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the pork chops should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the apple sauce: While the pork chops are baking, make the apple sauce. This can be done by simmering apples, sugar, and spices in a saucepan until the apples are softened and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the pork chops with the apple sauce: Serve the pork chops with the apple sauce and any other desired sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or roasted Brussels sprouts.
