PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season the pork chops generously with salt. Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring it to a high heat. Sear the pork on both sides and on the fat edge, working in batches if the chops don't all fit in the pan at the same time. Be sure not to crowd the pan. 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.
- Ditch the excess fat from the saute pan. Give a drizzle of fresh olive oil and add the onions and crushed red pepper and season with salt. Cook until the onions become soft and aromatic. Add the apples, cinnamon and rosemary and toss to coat with the oil. Add the cider and cook until the cider has reduced by two-thirds and the onion-apple mixture is very soft and saucy. Serve over the pork chops.
- Porky deliciousness!

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.

Steps:
- Slash the edges of the chops in 1 or 2 places to prevent curling. To make the rub, in a small bowl combine the sage, salt, and pepper. Rub the pork chops all over with the rub. Let stand at room temperature for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour, or cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature, if necessary, before cooking.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: For this recipe, bone-in pork chops are recommended as they tend to be more flavorful and juicy. Look for chops that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
- Season the pork chops well: A simple combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder is all you need to season the pork chops. Make sure to season them on both sides.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help to prevent the pork chops from drying out. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make sure the applesauce is sweet: The sweetness of the applesauce will help to balance out the savory flavors of the pork chops and onions. If you don't have any applesauce on hand, you can make your own by simmering peeled and diced apples with a little bit of sugar and cinnamon.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all great options.
Conclusion:
This recipe for pork chops with onions, sage, and applesauce is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are tender and juicy, the onions and sage add a savory flavor, and the applesauce provides a sweet and tangy balance. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
