How to Make Baked Pork Chops With Apples

  1. Season both sides of 4 (1-inch thick) pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  3. Remove pork chops from skillet and set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Arrange 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced) in the bottom of a prepared 9x12 inch baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle apples with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
  8. Top apples with seared pork chops.
  9. Pour 1/2 cup cranberry juice evenly over the pork chops and apples.
  10. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
  11. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  12. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the sauce to slightly thicken and the top to brown. (Optional)
  13. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
