Oil, for pan

Remove to cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for at least 15 minutes.
  • While the meat is resting, prepare the compote.
  • Pear Apple Compote:
  • Drain all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the roasting pan. Put the fat in a medium pan and add the shallots. Saute the shallots over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add all of the remaining ingredients, bring to boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the mixture until soft and thickened, about 5 to 8 minutes.

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.

SMOKED PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES



Smoked Pork Chops With Apples image

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.

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.

Tips:

  • For the perfect apple compote, use a variety of apples that offer a balance of sweet and tart flavors.
  • If you don't have apple cider, you can substitute it with apple juice or water.
  • To add a touch of sweetness to the compote, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
  • For a crispy pork chop, make sure to sear it in a hot skillet until golden brown before reducing the heat and cooking it through.
  • If you prefer a more flavorful pork chop, you can marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices before cooking.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with the apple compote and your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Conclusion:

The combination of tender pork chops and sweet, tangy apple compote is a classic dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this pork chops with apple compote recipe a try!
