How to Make Pork Chops And Applesauce Brady Bunch Style
- **Marinate the Pork Chops:** In a shallow 3-quart dish, whisk together 1 cup milk and 2 teaspoons salt. Add 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick), ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning once halfway through.
- **Prepare the Applesauce:** While the pork chops marinate, peel, core, and coarsely chop 4 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp).
- **Simmer the Applesauce:** In a 3-quart heavy saucepan, combine the chopped apples, 1/2 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, a pinch of ground cloves, and 1 bay leaf. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are very soft and easily mashed.
- **Mash and Warm:** Remove the bay leaf. Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the apples to your desired consistency. Keep warm, covered.
- **Prepare the Breadcrumbs:** Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). In a shallow bowl, combine 1 cup bread crumbs, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped), 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme (chopped), and 1 teaspoon salt.
- **Bread and Sear the Pork Chops:** Remove pork chops from the milk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each chop in the breadcrumb mixture, patting gently to adhere.
- **Sear to Perfection:** Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams subside. Sear the pork chops in batches (without overcrowding the pan) for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- **Rest and Serve:** Transfer the cooked pork chops to a platter and keep warm in the preheated oven. Serve immediately with the warm applesauce.
