How to Make Pork Chops With Onions Sage And Applesauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Make the applesauce:** Combine chopped apples, water, 4 tablespoons sugar, and cloves in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until apples are tender, about 12-15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and discard cloves. Using a fork, coarsely mash the apples. Taste and add more sugar if desired.
- Return to low heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- **Caramelize the onions:** Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and sauté until golden brown and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Season with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
- **Cook the pork chops:** Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
- Add pork chops to the skillet and sear until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), about 8-10 minutes more.
- **Make the pan sauce:** Remove pork chops from skillet and tent with foil to keep warm. Add chicken broth and white wine to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 10 minutes. Stir in chopped sage.
- **Assemble and serve:** Rewarm the onion mixture and applesauce gently. Divide caramelized onions among plates, top with pork chops, and spoon the pan juices over the pork. Serve immediately with applesauce on the side.
