How to Make Apple Ginger Pork Chops By Guy Fieri

  1. In a resealable plastic bag, combine pork chops (4, about 1-inch thick), 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better!).
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add pork chops, shaking off excess marinade.
  5. Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C).
  7. While the pork chops bake, deglaze the skillet with 1/4 cup dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Add 1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow onion, 1 cup thinly sliced apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), and 1/4 cup raisins.
  8. Cook until apples are tender and onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper to taste.
  9. Remove pork chops from the oven and add them to the apple mixture in the skillet. Toss gently to combine.
  10. Serve immediately, enjoying the delightful blend of flavors!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
