Are y’all ready for this? …No, no, I don’t think you are. Okay, if you insist. But if your head explodes upon contemplating the deliciousness of these Apple Spice Pork Chops, don’t say I didn’t try to warn you.
I don’t even know if I can describe how awesome these pork chops are. The brown sugar and butter create an amazing caramel-like sauce that drenches the pork chops in a deep, rich, sweetness. Add a little spice from the cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper and you’ve got a carnival in your mouth. Pork heaven.

Since these Apple Spice Pork Chops simmer in the delicious sauce there is not even a fraction of a possibility that chops will turn into dry hockey pucks. No, they’re juicy, rich, sweet and savory all at one time. *mouth watering as I type*
What Type of Pork Chops Should I Use?
A couple of notes: I used boneless, center-cut, thick chops but you can use bone-in as well. Just do not use thin-cut pork chops because they will likely cook too quickly and become overcooked, dry, and tough. Shoot for something 3/4-1 inch thick.
What Type of Apples are Best for This Recipe?
I used fuji apples for this recipe because I wanted something that was halfway between sweet and tart. I would suggest using any variety that is sweet but not sickeningly so. You need a little “acid” in there.
What to Serve with Apple Spice Pork Chops
I love making this a classic meal with mashed potatoes and green beans, but you could also pair it with something like Apple Walnut Stuffing, Wild Rice Pilaf, or some Maple Roasted Acorn Squash to really maximize those fall vibes! Or how about a Wild Rice and Vegetable Casserole? YUM.
Apple Spice Pork Chops
Servings 4Ingredients
- 4 pork chops ($6.44)
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil ($0.08)
- Pinch salt and pepper ($0.05)
- 1 med onion ($0.38)
- 2 fuji apples ($1.99)
- 2 Tbsp butter ($0.26)
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar ($0.03)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon ($0.02)
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg ($0.02)
- 1 cup chicken broth ($0.13)
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. While the skillet is heating, open the pork chops and season each side with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the chops in the pan. Cook the chops undisturbed for 5-7 minutes or until the bottoms form a nice brown crust. If your chops are sticking to the pan, that means they have not formed a crust yet. They will “let go” once the crust forms. Flip the chops and cook the second side in the same manner. It should take 5-7 minutes for each side.
- While the chops are searing, thinly slice the onion and slice the apples into wedges. Once the chops have browned on both sides, remove them to a clean plate (they do not need to be cooked through at this point). Add the apples, onions, and butter to the skillet and sauté until the onions are softened. Allow the moisture from the apples and onions to dissolve the browned bits from the skillet as they cook.
- Add the broth, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to the skillet with the apples and onions. Stir until everything is combined, then return the chops to the pan, along with any juices that may have collected on the plate. Nestle the chops down in the mixture, making sure some onions and apples are on top of the chops.
- Simmer the chops in the apple and onion mixture for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half, the apples are soft, and the pork chops are cooked through. Stir occasionally, moving the apples and onions around so they all have a chance to simmer and soften. Serve each chop with apples, onions and sauce spooned over top.

How to Make Apple Spice Pork Chops – Step By Step Photos
Season both sides of four pork chops with a pinch of salt and pepper. I used boneless, but you can use bone-in, if you prefer.
Heat a large skillet over medium, then once hot add 2 Tbsp vegetable oil. Swirl the skillet to coat the surface in oil, then add the pork chops. Let them cook until browned on one side (about 5-7 minutes), then flip and cook until browned on the second side. It’s important not to move them around while they are browning. They may stick to the skillet a little at first, but they will release when they develop that nice brown crust. Once browned on both sides, remove the chops to a clean plate. They do not need to be fully cooked through at this point.
While the pork chops are cooking, thinly slice one yellow onion and slice two apples into thin wedges. After removing the pork chops from the skillet, add the apples, onions, and 2 Tbsp butter.
Sauté the apples and onions until the onions are softened and the juices from the apples and onions have dissolved all the browned bits of pork from the bottom of the skillet.
Once the onions have softened, add 1 cup chicken broth, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp nutmeg. Stir everything together until combined.
Return the pork chops back to the skillet, along with any juices that collected on the plate, and nestle them down into all of that goodness. Allow the broth to come up to a strong simmer, then let the chops simmer in the liquid for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid is slightly thickened and the apples are soft.
The pork chops should be cooked through, the apples tender, and the pan sauce should be absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS.
Make sure you serve your Apple Spice Pork Chops with plenty of the apples and onions from the skillet, plus a couple spoonfuls of that amazing sauce!
I made this tonight exactly as instructed and my husband and I both loved it! The balance of sweet and savory was perfect (and it was not too sweet, which I am not a fan of). Mashed potatoes are a perfect pairing to sop up all of that amazing sauce. Like some other commenters, I had difficulty getting as nice of a sear as I wanted, but this was probably due to me being lazy and using nonstick pans. I will bust out my cast iron next time!
Can I use olive oil or is vegetable oil better for some reason? Thank you
You’re welcome to use olive oil!
These were OK not my favourite budget bites recipe but we enjoyed it. Probably not something I would make again.
I was thinking of using apple cider rather than broth, just adding more savory seasonings. Any thoughts?
Sounds yum! THough you might want to go half and half to regulate acidity.
Delicious. This will be going in my regular rotation now!
This is our new fall favorite. All of my kids liked it and it was super simple to prep. Thank you!
I don’t eat meat but thought the flavors of this sounded really good, so I subbed in tofu and it worked really well! I browned the tofu in a separate pan and then put it in with the cooked apple and onion mixture and let it cook together for a bit and it was great! I left out the broth and I don’t think it needed it, though perhaps because I used Macintosh apples that kind of dissolved. Anyways, wanted to share in case any of veg readers were wondering if this translated!
This would probably work really well with tempeh since it’s dense. Or seitan. Never tried though!
Apples had really good flavor and tasted like cinnamon apples, but the pork chops came off bland and did not carry much flavor even when soaking.
My family has this regularly. Even toddlers–one of whom who is very picky–adore it. Thank you!! Delicious, healthy, easy, fast, affordable. Wow.
Somehow we loved our latest rendition the best: no onion, with Pink Lady apples (one of our favorite eating apples, which is sweet/tart like Fuji can be). Yum! Throwing that out as another variation idea. (I love comments for encouragement to try recipes, and for tweaks…)
This makes a WONDERFUL pork chop meal. It’s totally delicious. I usedbone-in chops and the cooked perfectly. 616-706-3243
Ma’am, is that your phone number? Hmmm…
I made this with one apple and chucks of pineapple and it was great.
Delicious! Made this several times with all different apples (whatever we had on hand). Ive also shared this recipe multiple times to friends. So quick and easy to make with two babies running around. Thanks!
I made these with bone-in pork chops and it did not go well. The meat kind of curled up so I couldn’t get a good sear, since the bone was blocking it. Also, I stupidly left the lid on the pan when simmering so none of the broth evaporated and it was soupy. Don’t make my mistakes! Just use boneless chops.
Personally I always use bone-in chops and keep the lid on until the end. And that works for me :) So I guess everyone just has to experiment and see what works for them. But just wanted to drop in and testify that bone-in chops can work too :)
Little tric… Cut a slit in the middle of the bone-in chop before cooking. It won’t cure up on you! :)
*trick and cut lol
*curl {OMG, auto-correct}
I tried it with bone in. Next time I’ll do this!
I did not get browning either, even with the lid off, which happens for me frequently with the pans I use. They are thin and non-stick, and they are just not conducive to browning. I can see in Beth’s pics at the bottom that she regularly uses stainless skillets and my theory is that those tend to be better with creating the browning. Probably cast iron as well. Perhaps that helps?
I’m going to make this tonight! One question, I have leftover beef stock in the fridge. Do you think it would be ok to use beef stock instead of chicken broth?
That might be okay, but I think it’s just going to be a matter of personal preference. Beef broth has a much stronger flavor, so it might overpower the other flavors in this dish.
Do you think Granny Smith apples would be too tart in this recipe?
I do, yes.
Was looking for a pork chop recipe and found this one. I have bone in pork chops, would that still work for this recipe?
Bone in chops take longer to cook through, so you’ll probably need to let the chops simmer with the apples and onions a bit longer. A longer simmer can change the sauce and break down the apples and onions more, though, so just keep in mind that it may not turn out exactly the same.
Would this be a freezable dish??
I haven’t tried freezing this one, but it should do okay. The main issue you might run into is that pork chops can overcook easily, so after reheating they might be a little more on the tough side.
I thought I hated pork chops until I tried this recipe! This will be the only way I ever eat pork chops from now on. Trying tonight with chicken!
Looks delicious!!! Is it possible to make this without the onions? Hubby doesn’t do onions.
The onions are pretty important for this recipe because their savory flavor balances the sweetness of the apples. I wouldn’t make this without onions.
I don’t do onions either, @kara, so I do make this without them. I like it just fine, though I like sweet in general. I did them over mashed potatoes with a tomato salad on the side and it was delicious. :)
(Also, my dog absolutely loves when I make this for dinner, he stares at me from the moment he smells it cooking and licks up every bit of leftover sauce and pork he can get. )
Hi!! This recipe looks so yummy— we are doing whole30 right now and wondering if you think it would work without the brown sugar and subbing ghee for the butter?
It will definitely change the flavor, so you might just need to try it to see if those substitutions will be palatable to you. :)
This has become a staple at our house :) After all the meat is gone, we eat any leftover sauce with pasta. Today I didn’t have any apples, so I used plums instead and added some whole cloves. It was really tasty as well :)
Wow, this exceeded my expectations. I knew the combination of ingredients complimented each other, but, this dish was absolutely to die for. It was just the right blend of sweet and spice. I made potatoes mashed with a lot of butter, some salt and pepper to taste. Drizzling this pan sauce onto the buttery potatoes was amazing. This has now made it into the rotation. Can’t wait to make this in the fall.
Could you use other types of apples like Mcintosh?
Sure! You just don’t want a very soft apple.
This was super delicious, thank you! We served the chops with ceaser salad and rice pilaf. Your recipes never disappoint.
That sounds like an amazing meal! Great pairing!
Oh WOW! This is now one of my favorites. Smells awesome cooking, excellent fall weather comfort food! Next I’m going to prepare at home to cook at the campfire!
Thanks Wesley!
The finished recipe shows herbs on the pork/in the sauce – however your recipe never says to add anything but powdered spices. Perhaps an oversight?
I just garnished with a little chopped parsley to give the photos more color. :) It’s not needed to flavor the dish.
I`m from the UK – what more can I say – prep to perfection, co oked o to perfection, and best of all EATEN TO PERFECTION – an awesome dish enjoyed now – and many times in the future US & UK both enjoy this recipe!!
Beth, I don’t eat pork for religious reasons. Will this work with chicken thighs?
Yes, I think that would be a great substitution. :)
The whole family loved this recipe! It’s so delicious! Thank you!
We/I enjoyed it immensly!!
Thanks for the easy recipe. It turned out great. I used bone in chops and they were very tender. Odd to me have the apples taste like onions but we gobbled it up!
I am looking for a nutrition label for this recipe
This is so so good! Thanks for sharing!
Hi, I just made this for my meal prep. I used sweet potato mash instead, but this was sooo good and juicy. Thank you for the recipe!
LOVE that combo!! Great thinking!
Don’t know why you are calling my e-mail invalid?????
Do you think this would freeze well? Even if the porkchops had been frozen and then defrosted?
I feel like this one wouldn’t be so great to freeze. I’m not so sure the pan sauce would hold up well.
I just made this for mealprep for my fiance. It looked SO GOOD that I couldn’t help but get myself a plate too. At Trader Joe’s, they only had packs of 3, so I ended up using 6 porkchops, so I added an extra apple and used a larger onion.
THIS RECIPE IS SO TASTY. I rarely cook pork because it’s intimidating to me and honestly, most recipes just aren’t worth it in the end. This recipe is VERY, VERY worth it.
Eat this. Put it in your face.
These pork chops are delicious! I made them Whole30 complaint by using ghee instead of butter and omitting the brown sugar. The sauce still thickens up and the spices and apple are enough to make the dish pleasantly sweet.
I added carrots to the apple mixture and it came out so good! They gave a slight crunch compared to the soft apples. i paired my pork chops with a rosemary brown rice and quinoa blend and roasted green beans. Will definitely make again!
Hey Beth,
I love the idea of this recipe but pork isn’t a part of my diet. I was thinking of trying a version of this recipe with turkey breasts. With obvious adjustments for cooking times etc, do you think poultry would work? I just wasn’t sure how much the flavors of the meat were contributing to the overall flavor and enjoyment of the meal. I’d love any input or pointers!
(Haha, I’m leaving a 5 star rating here because I’m a long time fan of your blog and it doesn’t feel right to leave 0 on anything!)
Thanks Sarah! You should be able to leave a comment without clicking on any of the stars and it won’t leave a rating (it won’t show as zero stars). :) I think you could definitely do this with turkey breast. While pork and apples is a classic flavor combo, I think turkey would also be great.
I was on a budgetbytes kick last night and made this with spice-rubbed squash AND my favorite, baked barley with mushrooms, for my brother/sister in law, who have a 3mo old. I accidentally overheated the pork chops not accounting for the traffic they would hit, but I really liked the combo with the apples! My apples were HUGE and the extra sauce alone with the squash and barley are gonna make great barley salad leftovers today!
What’s your suggested butter replacement to make this without dairy products?
That’s really tricky. I think your best bet would be to buy a specific non-dairy butter replacement product. The butter in this recipe adds a richness that is different from other fats like coconut oil because of the natural sweetness of the dairy.
Made these tonight and they were INCREDIBLE! So delicious! I doubled the recipe for leftovers for the week. Only hiccup I had was that my sauce was a lot more liquidy than in your pictures. It also didn’t seem to reduce too much. I’m wondering if the double apples released too much liquid? Regardless, it was amazing.
Yes, probably. And when the apples are more crowded in the skillet there won’t be as much evaporation, so it will likely take longer to reduce. :)
The recipe calls out thick cit pork chops but the photo guide shows your traditional pork chop. Really changes the cooking time
tried this dish last evening with a great bottle of conundrum vintage 2015 to welcome the fall colors of the fall season. Many thanks to you and Martha for this warm introduction.
Will the pork chops cook well in a nonstick skillet?
Yes, you can use a non-stick skillet. You’ll get a little less of those browned bits, but I’m sure it will still be tasty. :)
I find myself making this dish around this time every year. Really hits the spot in the fall. I use a sweet onion instead of a yellow onion, and add 1/4 tsp of ground cloves and 1/4 tsp ground allspice. Adds a bit more fall flavor. Some mashed potatoes on the side with the sauce spooned over top and it’s the perfect fall meal.
Crazy good! And pretty easy. I added some fresh rosemary when I put the pork chops back in the pan. I got applause from the family.
This was great. I added sauerkraut and some caraway seeds it it came out outrageous. 👍👍
I wanted to make a meal to match the cooler temperatures, and this one really did the trick! Super easy and super yummy, I followed the recipe exactly. Served with baked sweet potatoes & steamed broccoli. Hubby loved it, so this is a keeper!
Could canned apples be used in this recipe?
I’ve never used/eaten canned apples, so I’m not sure how that would turn out.
This recipe uses a few simple ingredients but it’s OH SO GOOD. Normally, I don’t even like pork very much, but this is still one of my standbys. I make it all the time for my family.
Occasionally if I don’t have bouillon or broth, I just use water to mix in the seasonings and simmer – it still makes a juicy, flavorful chop.
Beth, you’re the real MVP for making recipes that are designed to be affordable. So many recipes you find on Pinterest use nothing but the most expensive ingredients, so it is SUCH a life saver to have easy, cheap, but DELICIOUS recipes. Also the MVP for putting the actual recipe toward the top of the page and not having a hundred of the same photo that we have to scroll past to find it. Yall know what I’m talking about with most food blogs!
Anyway, I’m a big fan of this site. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this recipe. This was easy to make and delicious. I had to tweak the recipe a little, out of nessity. I used 8 thin chops( that’s what I had) , 2 larger sized apples, a large onion, and one cube of beef bullion (again all I had). They turned out great. I served it with a sweet potato and some spinach. I think someone else paired theirs with the same , it goes well together.
This was really tasty and really simple! I misread the directions and ended up having to use water instead of broth, but even with that it was so good, so I can only imagine how much better it’ll be the next time I make it, with broth. :D I had roasted broccoli as a side!
Wht did you put as sides for these pork chops?
I tried this tonight – so delicious :) And the chops were so tender and juicy – YUM!!
This is our favorite pork chop recipe. We like the spices with the apple and onion.
This recipe has quickly become a favorite in our household. It’s perfect to break out when we have guest over- easy enough that I don’t spend the evening in the kitchen but impressively delicious none the less- it even got a compliment out of my MIL… and that NEVER happens ;)
?????ONE TEASPOON BOUILLION?????? Can that be right?
Not a cube? or a cup????
Bouillon is a concentrate. It gets mixed with one cup water to make one cup broth.
I made this tonight and my husband said it was one of the best meals I’ve ever made! It was deliciousness!!! I followed the recipe but used thin sliced pork chops instead (8 pieces) bc that’s what was available at the grocery store. I added two onions just bc we like onions a lot! I served it with baked sweet potatoes. It was a wonderful fall meal!
Definitely good. Definitely needs more apples. Be careful with the spices as they are quite prominent. Will make again
Great Recipe, new family favorite. =)
I added a little bit of garlic powder to the pork chops and it turned out yummy!
Making this today! Found it on pinterest!
I made this tonight. Defiantly a keeper!
I made this recipe tonight and really enjoyed it. My only sub was using chicken broth instead of water/bouillon. I definitely over cooked the pork, but that was my bad. I served it with mashed parsnips and leeks. Would recommend and very easy.
One word – delicious!
My mom always used to serve applesauce with pork chops and this kind of reminded me of that, but this recipe is far better!
Why not change the chickened /vegetable bouillon and water for apple juice that way it preserves the flavor of the pork and the apples?
I like the contrast of the salty broth with the sweet apples. :)
This was a great, simple recipe. Flavours were mild but delicious. Husband loved it. I served it with quinoa and steamed vegetables.
My family did not enjoy this recipe. The apples were nice, but no real flavor to the pork chops. Followed the recipe exactly. Not posting this as any offence to the recipe originator, but I really pay attention to the reviews to decide if I am going to make something or not.
I have made this twice and it is super. My husband wanted me to ask of the amount of onions and apples could be increased.
What kind of side dish would go well with this? That’s the part I mess up, making a side dish that compliments the main one.
I’m really excited to try these. Though it will have to wait a bit. Just had a tonsillectomy a few days ago.
Because pork chops are such a classic down home type dish, I think I would go with something simple like mashed potatoes and green beans. :)
Have you tried making this recipe with different types of apples, if so which was the best? Have you tried using green apples?
I haven’t tried it with other apples yet, but I think it’s definitely best to get a variety with at least some tartness. That really helps balance the flavors.
Made these last night for a dinner party and they were a hit! It’s a great fall dish. These will definitely be made again. Thanks so much for the recipe!
So yummy. I ran out of brown sugar, so I used some maple syrup instead. Two words: Mind Blown!
This looks amazing – I can’t wait to try it! I’ll be featuring this recipe on my blog tomorrow!
Your blog is like the bible of all recipe blogs. Every time I attempted cooking before, I’d end up burning something, and now I’m cooking dishes like these lick-the-plate-clean delicious apple spice pork chops. I made these a few nights ago and am still savoring the leftovers. THANK YOU for posting these easy to follow recipes and basically for existing. That is all. :-)
Awwww, thank you!! That’s so awesome to hear. :)
I’ve made this recipe several times and it’s been my favorite. Today we went to our local apple orchard and got fresh apples and cider and I substituted the water with the apple cider and they turned out just as delisious.
Just made these. So good and so easy!! I used a 3 pack of pork chops so I just reduced the apples and onions a bit, kept everything else the same.
did you cook these by themselves or serve with any sides? Side suggestions?
Is there away to adapt this to a crockpot?
The browning step for the pork chops is really important for creating the right flavor, so you’ll want to still do that step in a skillet. After that you can put everything in a slow cooker together. I’m not sure how long or what setting without testing it out, but it should also be noted that meat cooked in a slow cooker usually comes out very tender, so it might “fall apart” with a fork, like pulled pork. That’s usually a good thing, but maybe not for a pork chop?
I made this tonight and it was a hit! I got some pork chops on sale yesterday and didn’t know what to do with them, and was excited to find this recipe. I have no idea how it turned out, personally, because I’m a vegetarian, but my boyfriend liked it :).
This looks and sounds delicious but I want to try it with chicken breast instead of pork, I know this might be an off the wall question but would anything change about cooking the meat or will I be able to do the same thing
You can use the same method, you’ll just need to keep an eye on it because it will cook at a different pace depending on the thickness and fat content of the meat.
Has anyone attempted these without the onion?
I have an irrational fear/distaste of cooking pork, partly because of the overhyped bacon fever and partly because I’m always afraid of ruining it. But I saw pork chops on sale yesterday, so I bought them and cooked this.
Holy wow, this was amazing. And easy! And I never don’t have apples or onions on hand. Once again, Beth, you are a genius.
This recipe was great! I am not a good cook at all, and this recipe was so easy to follow and it came out delicious. I made it for my boyfriend and roommate and got great reviews! Thanks so much, I love this website, great blog!
I have been eyeing this recipe for months but as I live in the West Indies, where all food is imported, the pork chops will cost me approx. $17.00 US. The apples will be about $4.00 US and the remainder of ingredients negligible. After reading all the favourable reviews I have decided to go for it. Will buy pork chops on weekend ( if food boat comes in ) and make this early next week. The photos look so yummy and I know I will not regret the cost. As I have not yet made it, I am awarding stars based on the pics and reviews.
Made this for dinner tonight! Ummm, ummm good! I did pare my apples though. I served it with Whole Wheat Chicken Stove Top Dressing, and fresh asparagus. Easy and fast. I love pork with apple! Very nice flavor. Delicious! Will make again!
OK. I’m not super savvy in the kitchen and even I could handle this. It is simple and delicious. I paired withe roasted root veggies and string beans.
So, so good! I make so many recipes that “sound” good and I’m always so disappointed. I was a little cautious with this one but it far exceeded what I had hoped for. Also, it was a way to get my husband to eat fruit. Can’t wait to make it again!
The first time I made these, I subbed chicken stock for the bullion and water, which turned out very well. Now I’m trying it with sweet Italian sausage, hopefully this will be great, also!
Im making these for dinner right now and they smell amazing!!! But instead of water I used apple cider… hoping it taste as good as it smells!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
I tried this recipe tonight and It. Was. Amazing! I really didnt think that I could ever cook something that tasted like that and I just have to say thanks. This is not the first recipe of yours that I have made and you never let me down! Your site let me love cooking! Thanks!
These were fantastic! Made them with some quinoa and broccoli. Yummy! I’d actually give them a 4.5 star, with the .5 star off only because these were merely “really delicious” instead of some of the “mind-blowing, life-changing” recipes on this site.
Thanks! Excited to try and experience the pork rapture!
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I just tried this and….I love you
Could you do this in the crockpot? If so, any suggestions about cooking time? Thanks!!
Hmmm, I’m not sure without doing some experimenting. One thing is for sure, though, you won’t get the nice browning action with a slow cooker and that’s pretty important for depth of flavor.
Hi Beth! I included this recipe, your glazed pork chops, and your french bread pizza recipes in my 10 favorite fast and easy dinner recipes roundup. Come by and check it out and grab a button if you like! http://www.missloviecreations.blogspot.com/2013/06/my-favorite-things-thursday-10-favorite.html
Thanks! :)
I just made this for dinner tonight, and OMG was it good!!!!
Going to try this tonight with fried cabbage and wild rice….thanks for the recipe I am always looking for new ways to impress my special guy….
Thank you so much for this recipe! My boyfriend was absolutely in love with the apple pieces. :) I will be making this often!
I made this on the weekend and served with some steamed broccoli and roasted potatoes. It was amazing. The sauce is unbelievably tasty. Pretty sure my boyfriend is going to write you a thank you letter at some point.
I cannot wait to make this tonight! I’ve already (successfully)made the black beans and tortillas. I’m in the process of making the No-knead bread right now. I’ll let you know how it turns out. SO very thankful for your blog :)
I made some sweet potato fries to go with this (definitely a budget bytes item!) and didnt have any nutmeg so I used apple pie spice instead. Turned out great!
Finally got around to making this one. Damn straight Pork Rapture!!!! with a side of wild rice it was:::HEAVEN:::
The only thing that I altered was I subbed apple juice for the water and bumped up the spices a tad.
this would go great with some cabbage. just fry it up with the apples and onion, or make it separately. there’s a dish in sweden called “brown” cabbage that’s made with apple juice and butter (I think) and you just let it fry/simmer. cabbage is hella cheap too!
Going to the store RIGHT NOW. I want this. :)
Think I might try these with the chipotle sweet potatoes
There are pork chops, boneless ones, in the fridge that are just waiting to be used in this recipe tomorrow for dinner. This looks way yummy so thanks, ahead of time.
Peace & Love,
~Barb~
thanks for the idea! Pork chops were on sale today, had an old apple that needed to be used and actually about a cup of apple pie filling I threw in with the onion. Thanks again!
Well, I made some collard greens (recipe will be posted later this week) but I’d also serve a basic rice pilaf or some type of starch along side both.
this looks awesome, although i might eat two chops a serving. any great ideas for something to serve this with?
I put this with Curry Couscous and green beans with almond slices
OMG, that sounds perfect!
