Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pieces apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and sliced
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 pieces fresh rosemary sprigs
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Lightly dredge them in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Once the mixture is hot, add the pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the sliced apples. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and caramelized.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken broth, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Add the fresh rosemary sprigs to the skillet and return the pork chops to the pan. Spoon some of the sauce over the pork chops.
Step 6
Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, letting the flavors meld and ensuring the pork chops are heated through.
Step 7
Remove the rosemary sprigs and discard them. Serve the pork chops warm, topped with the caramelized apples and drizzled with the maple glaze from the skillet.
