Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large apple, thinly sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons optional: fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper, then lightly dredge them in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the sliced onion, cooking until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced apple to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.

Step 8

Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and tender (internal temperature reaches at least 145°F).

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired. Serve warm with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
