How to Make Apple Brandy Pork Chops With Raisins
- Season both sides of 2 (6-ounce) pork chops generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
- In a heavy-bottomed skillet (oven-safe preferred), melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
- Add 2 finely chopped shallots to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and lightly browned.
- Whisk in 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup apple brandy. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in 1/4 cup raisins.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet. If using an oven-safe skillet, transfer to a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Otherwise, continue simmering on the stovetop until cooked through.
- Allow the sauce to reduce slightly, until it thickens to your liking (about 2-3 minutes).
- Serve the pork chops immediately, spooning the delicious sauce generously over the top.
