Categories     Pork

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 bacon slices, chopped
2 large onions
2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cores and cut into 8 wedges
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup apple juice
1 cup canned chicken broth
1/2 cup applejack or other apple brandy
1 cup crumbled Maytag blue cheese
Salt and pepper
4 6-ounce pork loin chops (about 3/4 inch thick)

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a heavy skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels. Spoon off 1 tablespoon drippings from skillet and reserve; discard all but 2 tablespoons of the remaining drippings in the skillet. Add onions to skillet and sauté until golden, about 15 minutes. Push onions to one side of the skillet; add apples and sugar to the skillet and sauté until apples are golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer onions and apples to a bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon reserved bacon drippings in the same skillet. Add flour and stir 1 minute. Gradually whisk in juice, broth, and applejack. Boil until gravy thickens, whisking frequently, about 4 minutes. Add cheese and whisk until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Add onion mixture to gravy and stir until heated through. Remove from heat. Cover and keep warm. Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pork and sauté until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to bowl, pour gravy over chops. Top with bacon and serve.
