Pork Chops With Creamy Applesauce image

This is down-home enough to make a comforting meal, and definitely up-scale enough to serve for a fancier occasion. Reducing the sauce in the skillet the chops themselves have cooked in provides a lot of good flavour. I served this with steamed new potatoes on the side because the sauce went perfectly with the potatoes as well. Parsleyed mushrooms were also on the table and it was a wonderful meal!

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pork chops (cut 1-inch-thick)
salt and pepper
paprika or smoked paprika
olive oil (to coat skillet)
1 small red onion, minced
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 garlic clove, minced very fine
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 lemon, zest of
1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored, cut into thin slices and tossed in a little lemon juice (to avoid discoloration)

Steps:

  • For Sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients (except fresh apple) together and whisk until blended. Store in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • To make pork chops: Pat chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chops, turning over once, 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
  • Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet and reduce heat to moderate, then cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Return chops to skillet along with any juices accumulated on plate, then add sauce and simmer, covered and without turning, for another 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer chops to a clean plate. Keep sauce in skillet.
  • Add sliced apple to sauce and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced, 4-5 minutes. Taste sauce and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve, spooning sauce over chops.
