Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Add the chopped red onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.

Step 6

Stir in the grated ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the diced apples, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and water. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened, and the mixture has thickened into a chutney-like consistency.

Step 9

Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the apple ginger chutney over them.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 12

Serve the pork chops warm with a generous scoop of apple ginger chutney on top.
