1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set them on a plate. In a small bowl, mix the chopped sage, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each pork chop.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the pork chops for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest in the skillet for 5 minutes.
6. While the pork chops bake, prepare the warm apple slaw. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
7. Add the sliced apples, red cabbage, and carrot to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and the cabbage is slightly wilted.
8. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Pour the mixture over the apple slaw and stir to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes over low heat.
9. Plate the pork chops and serve with a generous helping of warm apple slaw on the side. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
10. Enjoy your Sage Rubbed Pork Chops with Warm Apple Slaw!
