Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Cook the apples over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Step 7
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the applesauce mixture. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Serve the pork chops warm with a generous spoonful of the applesauce on top or on the side.
