Pork Chops with Apples

Name: Pork Chops with Apples
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings.
Ingredients: 4 bone-in pork loin chops (3/4-inch thick and 7 ounces each); 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 2 medium onions, thinly sliced; 1 large green apple, cut into thin wedges; 1 large red apple, cut into thin wedges; 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard; 1 tablespoon brown sugar

These moist tender chops get delicious flavor from Dijon mustard, onions and apple slices. Or try replacing the apples with pineapple rings for an appealing variation. I like to serve mashed sweet potatoes with this main course, along with a simple salad.

Ingredients

4 bone-in pork loin chops (3/4-inch thick and 7 ounces each)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 large green apple, cut into thin wedges
1 large red apple, cut into thin wedges
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Directions

In a large skillet, brown pork chops in oil on each side. Season with salt and pepper; remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, saute onions and apple wedges until crisp-tender.
Combine mustard and brown sugar; brush over chops. Return to the skillet; cook for 4 minutes or until meat juices run clear.

Great recipe - left out the mustard as we are not a fan and subbed gala apples. Have already made it twice.

Wow - so good - I'm not usually a pork chop fan but the flavoring of this dish had us going back for seconds. I appreciated that it was simple to make and most ingredients already on-hand. The only change I made was to use all Fuji red apple since I didn't have green apple on-hand.

I didn't have Dijon Mustard on hand, so I used 1 Tbsp yellow, and 1 Tbsp spicy. I used boneless pork chops and only one onion. I cooked the apples and onion separately, to speed up cooking time. I also added 1 Tbsp brown sugar to the apple/onion mixture along with some butter to add a little sweet caramelization at the end. Everything turned out wonderfully delicious, and I didn?t have any leftover pork chops because my husband ate the extra one!

The ultimate test: my kids loved it, except for the mustard hater. He suggested I make it again and leave the mustard off of his. :)
