Baked Pork Chops With Apples & Spiced Maple Sauce image

When I saw the ingredients I knew right away I had to try an apple and pork combination. So I tested out my recipe and got the approval of my family and so I decided to enter. This is a very simple recipe that cooks quickly. It is great with stuffing and a green veggie of your choice.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
4 boneless pork loin chops (1-inch thick)
5 cups apples (cored and sliced, peel on if preferred)
1 cup red onion (sliced)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon clove
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in spice rub together and sprinkle over chops top and bottom.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Spray an oven proof, non-stick skillet with lid with cooking spray.
  • Brown chops 3 minutes per side on medium high heat, uncovered. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • Add apples and onions to skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until they start to brown.
  • Place chops over apple/onion mixture.
  • Pour in chicken broth, cover and cook about 20 minutes. The pork chops should reach 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Take the chops out of the oven and let stand for 10 minutes to completely cook the chops and not dry them out.
  • After taking chops out of oven combine spiced maple sauce ingredients in a small sauce pan.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until mixture reduces to desired consistency. We like ours thin, so we only cooked about two minutes.
  • Pour sauce over chops and apples. Enjoy.
