Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork loin chops, 1- inch thick
- Kosher salt
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- Pinch cinnamon
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves finely chopped
- 2 cups apple cider
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Season the pork chops generously with salt. Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring it to a high heat. Sear the pork on both sides and on the fat edge, working in batches if the chops don't all fit in the pan at the same time. Be sure not to crowd the pan. Remove the pork from the pan and place on a cookie sheet. Finish the pork in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Ditch the excess fat from the saute pan. Give a drizzle of fresh olive oil and add the onions and crushed red pepper and season with salt. Cook until the onions become soft and aromatic. Add the apples, cinnamon and rosemary and toss to coat with the oil. Add the cider and cook until the cider has reduced by two-thirds and the onion-apple mixture is very soft and saucy. Serve over the pork chops.
Porky deliciousness!

I was really excited to try this recipe since it had apples in it. I made it tonight for dinner and LOVED the pork chops, but the apples & onion sauce was not really worth it to me. I think I will just use a good quality applesauce next time, and just warm it up and serve it on the side. It's not worth spending the time or ingredients for what it tasted like...it was good...just not worth it. I did add salt, pepper & garlic powder to the pork chops & let them marinate before searing them. My family loved the pork chops...so tender!

I thought this was really good except too much onion, it was so overpowering! Also, it is difficult to find cider when it's not around the holidays. I love apples and pork chops though, Yum!

This recipe was fabulous! It was easy to make and the apples and onions with a hint of cinnamon and red pepper flake were the star of the dish!
