How to Make Pork Chops With Golden Applesauce
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the chopped apples, golden raisins, water, brown sugar, lemon juice, grated ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and a chunky sauce forms. If the sauce begins to splatter, reduce the heat slightly.
- Once the applesauce is thickened, remove from heat and set aside.
- While the applesauce cooks, season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork chops to the hot skillet, seasoned side down. Cook for 2 minutes until browned and caramelized.
- Flip the chops, season the other side with salt and pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the juices run clear.
- Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- To deglaze the pan, add the apple juice and butter to the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the pan sauce over the pork chops.
- Remove the ginger pieces from the applesauce (if desired).
- Serve the pork chops topped with a generous portion of warm golden applesauce.
