The flavors are quintessential fall, and the recipe is so easy it only takes about thirty minutes to prepare, so it’s perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients 

  • 4 boneless pork loin chops, 1/2-inch thick, about 1 lb
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
  • Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup apple cider, divided

Seasoning blend:

  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions 

  • If necessary, trim excess fat from the pork.
  • Combine the sugar, cinnamon, coriander, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Reserve 1 teaspoon of the mixture for seasoning the apples, then sprinkle the remainder evenly over both sides of the chops and rub it in with the back of a spoon.
  • Heat the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until well caramelized, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, 1 minute longer.
  • Add the apples, sprinkle with the reserved seasoning and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the apple cider.
  • Make sure the apples are evenly coated with the cider and seasoning and cook until they’re tender, about 3 minutes longer.
  • Transfer the apple-onion mixture to a plate and set aside.
  • Wipe out the pan, coat the bottom with a small amount of vegetable oil and return to the stove over medium-high heat.
  • Dredge the pork chops in the flour, shake off the excess and add to the pan. Cook until lightly browned, 1-1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
  • Add the remaining apple cider and continue cooking, turning the pork several times, until the liquid has thickened and the pork is glazed with the cider.
  • Transfer the chops to a serving platter and add the apples and onions.
  • Drizzle the remaining pan sauce over the top and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

For best results, look for pork chops that are nicely marbled and be sure to leave a little of the fat around the edges so they stay moist and tender when cooked.
