Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops, cut ½ to ¾ inch thick
- Salt and pepper
- Drizzle of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 sweet onion
- 4 Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced
- A few pinches of brown sugar (½ tablespoons or less)
- 1 ½ cups white wine (or beer)
Directions
- Trim chops and discard any fat, etc.
- Generously rub salt and pepper on both sides of each pork chop and set aside.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of olive oil until the oil is hot.
- Carefully lay pork chops (may have to work in 2 batches) down and leave alone/ do not touch for 2- 3 min, allowing them to sear until golden.
- Flip as needed, allowing both sides to brown and cook.
- Remove pork chops from skillet and cover to keep warm.
- Place butter in a pan, lowering the heat to medium. Allow butter to melt. Then, add in your onion and sauté until they start to caramelize a bit.
- Add apple slices and brown sugar sprinkled on top. Stir to combine with onions.
- Add in wine (or beer if using), giving everything a good stir to combine, and turn the heat up just slightly and cook the mixture until it starts to thicken.
- Once a bit thickened, return your cooked pork chops to the skillet.
- Continue cooking everything until the pork is completely cooked through and tender.
- Serve pork chops, apples, and onions over mashed potatoes, and enjoy!
