Baked Pork Chops With Apples and Sage image

The tastes of Autumn in this recipe are enough to warm any winter day. It's not necessary to thicken the liquid, but it does help make a better sauce. It can be made ahead up to a certain point in the recipe, refrigerated and finished later. See directions.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pork chops, 1 inch thick and with bone
2 medium onions, sliced
3 granny smith apples, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1 teaspoon sage, dried
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of butter with the oil in a large frying pan. Sauté the onions on medium high until golden. Layer in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Peel, core and slice the apples, the same size as if for a pie. Heat the remaining tbsp of butter in the same pan. Sauté the apples until they begin to soften and brown slightly. Remove and add to the onions.
  • Season both sides of the chops with salt and pepper. In the same pan, sear the pork chops on each side on high heat, two at a time. Use a little more oil if necessary. They should have a slightly browned crust but are not cooked through. Remove and arrange on top of the onions and apple slices.
  • If making ahead, stop at this point, cover the pan with foil and refrigerate.
  • Mix the cornstarch and water. Mix the apple cider, cinnamon and sage together, add the cornstarch, and pour over the chops. If desired, add more pepper and salt at this time.
  • Cover with foil and bake in the centre of the oven for 30 minutes.

SAGE RUBBED PORK CHOPS WITH WARM APPLE SLAW



Sage Rubbed Pork Chops with Warm Apple Slaw image

NOTE: To make this quicker and easier you can use one 16-ounce bag of pre-shredded carrots and cabbage, called "Slaw Mix" instead of starting with whole cabbage and carrots. This dish can also be a one-pot-meal if you need to swap around. Just serve with some nice brown bread or whole-grain or whole-wheat bread.

Provided by Ellie Krieger

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 teaspoons chopped fresh sage or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
1 large clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon salt, divided
Freshly ground black pepper
4 (3/4-inch) bone-in pork loin chops (about 8 ounces each)

1/2 head green cabbage, cored
3 large carrots
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Combine the 3 teaspoons of the fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork chops and let the chops sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion, apple and cabbage and julienne the carrots (very thin sticks).
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick frying pan until hot but not smoking. Add the chops and brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove.
  • Carefully wipe out the pan. Heat the remaining teaspoon oil over moderate heat and add the onion, apples and remaining teaspoon fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is soft and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cabbage, carrots, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt and continue cooking until the cabbage and carrots begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and return the pork chops to the pan burying them in the vegetable mixture. Cover and cook just until the pork chops are just slightly blush in the center, 5 to 7 minutes longer.
  • To serve, arrange the warm slaw on individual plates and top with a pork chop and pan juices.

To compliment this dish, serve it with light side dishes such as Recipe #251321, and Recipe #260696, and topped with some decorative fresh parsley. Your kitchen will be filled with aromatics all day!

3-INGREDIENT PORK CHOPS WITH ROASTED APPLES AND SAGE



3-Ingredient Pork Chops With Roasted Apples and Sage image

The classic pairing of pork and apples gets enhanced by a hint of sage for a simple and delicious dinner.

Provided by Molly Baz

Categories     3-Ingredient Recipes     Dinner     Fall     Pork Chop     Pork     Apple     Sage     Quick & Easy

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (1 1/4"-thick) bone-in pork chops
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium crisp, sweet apples (such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala), cut into 2" wedges
10 sage leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear pork chops, turning occasionally (including outside edge of fat cap), until browned all over, 8-10 minutes. Transfer chops to a roasting pan.
  • Cook apples, sage, and 1/2 tsp. salt in same skillet over medium heat, turning apples, until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer apples and sage to roasting pan, nestling around chops.
  • Transfer roasting pan to oven and roast until chops are cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of chops registers 160°F, 8-10 minutes.
  • Divide chops among plates and serve with apples and sage alongside.

Tips:

  • To ensure your pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of your pork chops by cutting into one. The meat should be opaque and slightly pink in the center.
  • To prevent the apples from browning too quickly, toss them in a little lemon juice or vinegar before adding them to the skillet.
  • If you don't have fresh sage, you can use dried sage instead. Just use about 1/4 of the amount of dried sage that you would fresh sage.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with apples and sage is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the apples and sage add a delicious flavor combination. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
