Ingredients

  • 4 pork chops bone-in, about 3/4-inch thick, rib
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter divided
  • 2 apples peeled (optional), cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 large white onion halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • pinch cayenne
  • 2/3 cup apple cider
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Generously season the chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Immediately add the pork chops and cook until brown, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to a plate and set aside. Let chops rest for 3 minutes.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Immediately add the apples and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon and cayenne. Stir in the apple cider and cream.
  • Add the pork chops, nestling them into the liquid, and cook until the internal temperature of the pork reaches between 145 degrees F. (medium rare), with a 3-minute rest, and 160 degrees F. (medium), 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chops with the apple mixture spooned on top
