Pork Chops With Apples And Onions

Seared Pork Chops with Sweet Apples and Red Onions

I’ll be honest, pork chops haven’t always been my first choice of protein for dinner. But these pork chops change everything! They are perfectly seared, perfectly spiced and seasoned and I just can’t get enough of the fresh apple and red onion addition. Oh and that pan sauce! Let’s talk about that for a second because it is a key highlight of this dish. It’s made with chicken broth for depth, apple cider for sweetness (and because it’s the perfect pairing to pork), then dijon mustard for zip, and those fresh herbs and autumn spices for flavor. You know those spices that I can’t help but add to everything lately, even my main dish like so.

Pair this with some roasted butternut squash to keep that fall theme going! And why not, it’s in season right now and it’s seriously delicious!
