Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (4 ounce) thick-cut boneless pork chops
1 (8 ounce) package bacon, diced
1 cup diced onion
3 pounds shredded red cabbage
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup red wine
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 cinnamon sticks cinnamon sticks
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 medium Granny Smith apple, cored and cubed

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
Place bacon the same skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add onions and cook until bacon is browned and onions are translucent, about 5 more minutes.
Add red cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, wine, vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, salt, and pepper; cook for 10 minutes. Add pork chops, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover. Cook for 10 minutes, then add apples. Continue to cook until pork is no longer pink in the center, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
