Ingredients for Apple Onion Pork Chops

  • Pork Chops
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Dry Onion Soup Mix
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Apple Onion Pork Chops

  1. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chops for 2-3 minutes per side.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Pour the apple onion mixture over the browned pork chops in the skillet.
  4. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the gravy has thickened slightly.
  5. Serve immediately over rice or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
