Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 2 medium Apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make a seasoning marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Allow the pork chops to rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes while preparing the apples.

Step 4

Core and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick wedges. In a separate small bowl, toss the apple slices with brown sugar, cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar.

Step 5

Place the pork chops on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 6

While the pork chops are grilling, place a cast iron skillet or grill-safe pan on the grill. Add the prepared apples to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized.

Step 7

Remove the pork chops from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.

Step 8

Serve the grilled pork chops topped with the caramelized apples. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for presentation.
