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.

PORK CHOPS SMOTHERED IN CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:
- Season both sides of pork chops with garlic powder, sage, thyme, salt and pepper.
- Melt 2 tbs. butter in a large skillet over medium heat, evenly coating the bottom of the skillet.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Cook both sides of chops for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned. (Note: It is okay if the chops are not completely done, as there is more cooking time to come.).
- Push chops to outside edges of skillet. Melt the remaining 1 tbs. butter in the center of the skillet and add onions to the center of the skillet, sprinkling with sugar.
- Replace skillet cover and cook for 10 minutes, frequently tossing and stirring onions with a spatula. Onions are caramelized when tender and medium-brown in color. My husband prefers cooking them until slightly burned, as the flavor intensifies. (Note: Don't forget to watch your chops to make sure they don't burn.).
- Check chops for doneness before serving. They will be done when a fork piercing the thickest part of the chop draws clear juice. If the juice is pink, cook chops a bit longer until done. (Note: Make sure to watch onions, so they don't burn.).
- Serve pork chops with caramelized onions piled on top.

Steps:
- Heat skillet to med/medium high temp with oil.
- In separate shallow bowls (1 bowl for each item) place the 2 eggs (beaten), milk, flour, and crackers. Dip the pork chop in milk, then flour, then egg and lastly the cracker crumbs.
- Place in heated skillet and cook until outer crust is golden brown (should only take a couple minutes per side).
- Remove pork chops from skillet and place into a baking pan. Sprinkle each chop with garlic powder and pepper. Slice onion (fairly thin) and place two slices on each pork chop.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. If you prefer a crispy breading do not cover with foil, if you prefer a softer breading cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes then remove foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
- I like to serve this with potatoes I have boiled. I remove the pork chops from the baking dish, put a little oil or butter in the baking dish to deglaze then toss the potatoes in the baking dish, stir in some seasoning salt and pepper then remove.

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.
PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONION
A delicious pork chop dish sweetened with apples and cinnamon. It has a bed of caramelized onions and it is delicious. I got this from some recipe cards called Great Meals in Under 30 minutes. My family devours this everytime. It is great with some roasted potatoes. One suggestion, use the largest skillet you have. I use a big cast iron skillet and it is still crowded. I have tried subbing peaches for the apples and liked it, but not as well.

- Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
