Description

Succulent pork chops seasoned with a tasty spice rub are cooked in a sweet sauce with onions and apples--perfect for autumn, but tasty all year-round!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage
1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
4 (5 ounce) boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
2 medium Red Delicious apples, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 cup apple juice
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

1 Whisk flour, sage, garlic, thyme, salt, allspice, and paprika together in a small bowl. Reserve 2/3 spice mixture; sprinkle remaining 1/3 on pork chops, coating all sides.
2 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops; cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
3 Add onion to skillet; cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add apples; cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir in apple juice, brown sugar, and reserved spice mixture; bring to a boil.
4 Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until chops no longer pink in center and reaches desired level of doneness, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
