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.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pork Chops: Select thick, bone-in pork chops for best results. They will stay moist and juicy during cooking.
  • Tenderize the Pork Chops: To ensure tenderness, use a meat mallet to pound the pork chops until they are about 1/4 inch thick. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Season the Pork Chops Generously: Don't be afraid to season the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cumin.
  • Sear the Pork Chops: Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet until they are browned on both sides. This will create a flavorful crust and help lock in the juices.
  • Add the Apples and Bacon: Once the pork chops are seared, add the apples and bacon to the skillet. Cook until the apples are tender and the bacon is crispy.
  • Finish Cooking the Pork Chops: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the pork chops are cooked through. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Let the Pork Chops Rest: Before serving, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with apples and bacon is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops are tender, juicy, and flavorful. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad, for a complete meal. Enjoy!
