Savor the sweet and savory delight of pork chops with caramelized onions and apples. This easy recipe delivers a comforting meal perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove chops from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the sliced onion to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Add the sliced apple to the skillet with the onions. Cook for another 5 minutes, until apples are tender.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  7. Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them among the onions and apples.
  8. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.
  9. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F).
  10. Serve pork chops with the caramelized onion and apple mixture.

Notes

  • For deeper caramelization, cook the onions slower over lower heat for a longer period.
  • You can use a variety of apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji, for a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • If you don’t have chicken broth, apple cider or white wine can be used as a substitute.
