Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 cups apple cider
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and paprika. Lightly dust each pork chop with flour on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chops and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced apples and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Sprinkle the apples with cinnamon and brown sugar, stirring to coat them evenly.
Pour in the apple cider and chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them among the apples. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes until the pork chops are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Continue simmering the apples and sauce for 2-3 more minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve the pork chops topped with the sauteed apples and sauce. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Enjoy hot!
