Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ground black pepper to taste
• 1 apple - peeled, cored, and sliced
• 2 (1/2-inch thick) pork chops
• 0.25 cup chopped onion
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground mustard
• 0.75 cup applesauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir apple and onion in melted butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer apple and onion mixture to a bowl.

Step 3

Place pork chops in the same skillet over medium heat; cook until pork chops are browned, about 5 minutes per side. Place pork chops in a 9x9-inch baking dish; season with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Mix applesauce, brown sugar, mustard, and cinnamon into apple and onion mixture. Spoon over pork chops.

Step 5

Bake, covered, in the preheated oven until pork chops are no longer pink in the center, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
