Ingredients for Apple Pork Chops

  • Pork Chops
  • 1 medium apple (about 1 cup sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

How to Make Apple Pork Chops

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season 2 (1-inch thick) pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Place pork chops in a baking dish.
  4. Bake, covered, for 25 minutes.
  5. While the pork chops bake, peel and slice 1 medium apple (about 1 cup) into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  6. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Arrange apple slices over each pork chop.
  7. Dot with 1 tablespoon of butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
  8. Bake, uncovered, for another 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the apples are tender.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

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.
