Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 4 (5 ounce) boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
• 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
• 2 medium Red Delicious apples, cored and thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup apple juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons rubbed sage
• 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk flour, sage, garlic, thyme, salt, allspice, and paprika together in a small bowl. Reserve 2/3 spice mixture; sprinkle remaining 1/3 on pork chops, coating all sides.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops; cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Step 3

Add onion to skillet; cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add apples; cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir in apple juice, brown sugar, and reserved spice mixture; bring to a boil.

Step 4

Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until chops no longer pink in center and reaches desired level of doneness, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
