Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large skillet, combine the thinly sliced yellow onion, peeled and sliced baking apples, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Season generously with dried thyme and dried rosemary. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Cook the apple-onion mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are lightly browned and the apples are softened but still holding their shape. This should take about 15 minutes. Sweeten with a pinch of brown sugar, adjusting to your preference. Once done, set aside and keep warm. (Cook time: 15 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate skillet, arrange the pork chops. Season generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika. Drizzle evenly with 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

04

Step

Cook the pork chops over medium heat until they are no longer pink in the center and have reached an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). This usually takes about 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chops. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

05

Step

Transfer the cooked pork chops to a serving platter. Generously top each chop with the warm apple-onion mixture, ensuring an even distribution of flavors. Serve immediately to enjoy the harmonious blend of sweet and savory notes. (Assembly time: 2 minutes)

For best results, use bone-in pork chops to enhance the flavor and moisture.
Consider adding a splash of dry sherry or apple brandy to the apple-onion mixture for an extra layer of complexity.
A dollop of Dijon mustard mixed into the apple-onion topping adds a tangy contrast to the sweetness.
Ensure pork chops are at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
