Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large (sliced) yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 medium (cored and sliced) apples
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops on both sides for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter to the same skillet, and let it melt.
Add the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Mix in the raisins, chicken broth, ground cinnamon, and honey. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them among the apples and raisins.
Cover the skillet and let everything simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt and pepper.
Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the pork chops hot with the apples, raisins, and sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy!
