Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup hot water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 4 (6 ounce) pork chops, 1 1/2 to 2-inches thick
• 2 medium tart apples, cored and sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon sage

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season pork chops with salt and sage.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chops on each side until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish; reserve drippings in the skillet. Cover chops with apple slices; sprinkle with brown sugar.

Step 3

Stir flour into drippings in the skillet until smooth. Whisk in water and vinegar; simmer over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until thick. Add raisins; pour over chops. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil or a lid.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, removing the foil during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
