Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 2 medium Apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make a seasoning marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Allow the pork chops to rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes while preparing the apples.
Core and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick wedges. In a separate small bowl, toss the apple slices with brown sugar, cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
While the pork chops are grilling, place a cast iron skillet or grill-safe pan on the grill. Add the prepared apples to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
Serve the grilled pork chops topped with the caramelized apples. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for presentation.
