Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 cups apple cider
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and paprika. Lightly dust each pork chop with flour on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chops and set aside on a plate.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced apples and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Step 4
Sprinkle the apples with cinnamon and brown sugar, stirring to coat them evenly.
Step 5
Pour in the apple cider and chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 6
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them among the apples. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes until the pork chops are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Continue simmering the apples and sauce for 2-3 more minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 8
Serve the pork chops topped with the sauteed apples and sauce. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Enjoy hot!
