Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 pieces Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons Honey
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the pan and allow it to become hot but not smoking.
Step 3
Place the pork chops in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside on a plate.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and caramelize.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the honey. Add the fresh thyme sprigs and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 7
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the apple mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, occasionally spooning the sauce over the pork chops.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat. Discard the thyme sprigs. Serve the pork chops with the apples and sauce spooned over the top.
