Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt.

Step 5

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 6

Stir in the sliced apples, curry powder, and ground cinnamon. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the apples to soften slightly.

Step 7

Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release browned bits. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or curry powder if desired.

Step 9

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the pork chops with the curried apple onion sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
