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).
