Apple-Sage Pork Chops

Recipe View In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sage, garlic, thyme, salt, allspice, and paprika. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Generously sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture evenly over both sides of each pork chop, pressing lightly to adhere. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until shimmering. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully place the pork chops in the hot oil and cook until browned and slightly crusty on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a clean plate. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the sliced apples and continue to cook until the apples are slightly tender, about 2 minutes. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the apple juice into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the brown sugar and the remaining flour mixture, ensuring there are no lumps. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them among the apples and onions. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the pork is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes. (10 minutes)

Recipe View The internal temperature of the pork should reach 145°F (63°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer. Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. (5 minutes)
