Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray a 13×9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Arrange the apple slices in the bottom of the baking dish in a single layer.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

Add the onion and saute until tender and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Season both sides of the pork chops with All Purpose Seasoning.

Add the pork chops to the skillet; cook until just browned on each side, about 2 minutes per side. The pork will not be cooked through.

Transfer the pork chops to a plate and set aside.

Add the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon to the skillet and cook until melted.

Pour the butter mixture over the apples and arrange the browned pork chops on top.

Bake for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145 degrees F

Tips & Tricks (5)

Choose the Right Apple Variety 🍎
Use tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp that hold their shape during baking and provide bright acidity to balance the rich pork and sweet brown sugar glaze.
Sear Before Baking 🔥
Sear the pork chops in olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side before baking to develop a golden crust and lock in juices, creating superior depth of flavor.
Caramelize Onions First ✨
Sauté the onions separately until golden and sweet before layering with apples; this intensifies their natural sugars and prevents soggy vegetables.
Use a Meat Thermometer 🌡️
Check for 145°F internal temperature to avoid overcooking lean pork, which ensures juicy, tender chops rather than dry, tough meat.
Toast the Cinnamon and Brown Sugar 🤎
Bloom the cinnamon in melted butter and mix with brown sugar before applying to create a deeper, more complex sweetness that doesn't taste artificial.
