How to Make Pork Chops With Granny Smith Apples

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Dredge each pork chop (about 1 inch thick) in the flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Core two medium Granny Smith apples and cut them into halves. Sprinkle each half with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Place apple halves, cut-side down, in the hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and slightly softened. Remove apples from skillet, cover, and set aside.
  6. Add the pork chops to the skillet, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 145°F).
  7. While the pork chops cook, whisk together 1/2 cup chicken broth and 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
  8. Remove the cooked pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
  9. Pour the broth mixture into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  10. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  11. Stir in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional).
  12. Divide the pork chops among four plates. Top each chop with some of the sauce and a Granny Smith apple half.
  13. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of parsley and serve immediately.
