Sage Apple Pork Chops

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sage Apple Pork Chops.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab a mixing bowl and combine your flour, dried sage, minced garlic, ground thyme, salt, ground allspice, and paprika.

2. Step 2

   Give it a good stir to create a fragrant seasoning blend that will elevate your pork chops.

3. Step 3

   Next, take about a tablespoon of this delightful mixture and sprinkle it generously over both sides of each pork chop, making sure they’re well coated for maximum flavor.

4. Step 4

   Now, let’s heat things up! Pour some olive oil into a large skillet and warm it over medium-high heat.

5. Step 5

   Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet.

6. Step 6

   Sear them for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they’re beautifully browned and cooked through.

7. Step 7

   When they’re ready, remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a platter, letting them rest while we prepare the delicious apple and onion mixture.

8. Step 8

   In the same skillet, toss in your sliced onion and sauté, stirring frequently, until they become tender—this should take about 3 minutes.

9. Step 9

   Then, add the sliced apples and continue cooking for another 2 minutes, allowing the apples to soften and release their sweet aroma.

10. Step 10

    Next, pour in the apple juice, and sprinkle in the brown sugar along with the remaining seasoning blend.

11. Step 11

    Stir everything together, letting the sugar dissolve and the flavors meld beautifully.

12. Step 12

    Now it’s time to bring back those pork chops! Nestle them into the skillet with the apple and onion mixture, allowing them to soak up all those wonderful flavors.

13. Step 13

    Bring the liquid to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

14. Step 14

    This will ensure the pork is perfectly cooked and no longer pink in the center.

15. Step 15

    For peace of mind, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

16. Step 16

    And there you have it! A deliciously seasoned pork chop dish, beautifully complemented by sweet apples and savory onions.

17. Step 17

    Serve it up and enjoy the delightful flavors that will surely impress your family and friends!.
