CINNAMON-APPLE PORK CHOPS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook pork chops in 1 tablespoon butter for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
• Remove chops and keep warm.
• Add the apples, pecans, brown sugar mixture and remaining butter to the pan; cook and stir until apples are tender.
• Serve with chops.

APPLESAUCE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and apple slices in the melted butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer onion and apple to a bowl.
• Place pork chops in the same skillet; cook over medium heat until pork chops are browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
• Mix applesauce, brown sugar, mustard, and cinnamon into onion and apple mixture.
• Place pork chops in a 9x9-inch baking dish; season with salt and black pepper. Spoon applesauce mixture over pork chops; cover dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pork chops are no longer pink in the center, about 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

BAKED PORK CHOPS WITH CINNAMON APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400.
• Lay pork chops on a baking sheet, lightly coat with olive oil, then thyme, and sea salt and pepper to your liking. Rub the seasonings into the meat and set aside.
• In a sauce pan, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, water and apples. Bring to a boil, and then simmer for 20 minutes or until apples are tender. Combine the flour with a tablespoon of cold water to dissolve. Add flour mixture to the apples and return to a boil for 5 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken. If the mixture becomes too thick, you can add more water, and likewise, if it's too thin, you can add more flour-water.
• Place porkchops in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Top the chops with the apples and return to baking for another 10 minutes.
• This is great with steamed green beans, and is a healthy alternative to other apple pork dishes.

INSTANT POT CINNAMON-APPLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Set the Instant Pot to "sauté, medium heat." Once it reads "hot," add the oil and pork chops, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, and brown for 5 minutes, turning them over halfway through.
• Transfer the pork chops to a plate. Add the apples, cinnamon stick, sage, pumpkin pie spice, applesauce, and water to the pot. Mix to combine and return the pork chops to the pot.
• Cover and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Remove the pork chops and half the apples to a plate to rest. Set the pot to "sauté, medium heat" and cook to boil down the sauce until thickened, about 10 minutes. Pour the sauce over the pork chops and apples and serve.
