Take note
Be careful when handling raw meat and always wash your hands after coming into contact with it. Also, be cautious when working with hot pans and stoves.

1

Prepping the Pork Chops

Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides. You can even add a sprinkle of garlic powder or your favorite seasoning blend for extra flavor.

2

Searing the Pork Chops

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the pork chops to the pan. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned.

3

Cooking the Pork Chops

Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the pork chops for an additional 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). This will ensure they are cooked through and tender.

4

Making the Apple Sauce

Peel and chop 3-4 apples of your choice (granny smith apples work great). In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apples and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

5

Sweetening the Sauce

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over the apples and stir to combine. Allow the sugar to melt and coat the apples, creating a deliciously sweet sauce.

6

Simmering the Sauce

Reduce the heat to low and let the apple mixture simmer for around 15-20 minutes, or until the apples have completely softened into a sauce-like consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

7

Plating and Serving

Serve the cooked pork chops on a plate and generously spoon the homemade apple sauce over them. Feel free to sprinkle some fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, for a lovely garnish. Now, it's time to indulge in this sweet and savory delight!
