Enjoy these tender pork chops with sweet caramelized onions and crisp apples. A comforting and flavorful meal perfect for any night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium apples, cored and sliced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry and season them generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the sliced onion to the same skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Add the sliced apples to the skillet with the onions and cook for another 5 minutes, until slightly softened.
  6. Pour in the apple cider and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them among the onions and apples.
  8. Add the butter and thyme to the skillet.
  9. Cover the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  10. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, you can caramelize the onions ahead of time.
  • Feel free to use a mix of apple varieties for different flavors.
  • Ensure your pork chops are not overcooked to maintain tenderness.
