Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Cook the apples over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the applesauce mixture. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Serve the pork chops warm with a generous spoonful of the applesauce on top or on the side.
