Sear pork chops in a skillet, then briefly simmer them in the pan juices with apple and onion wedges, butter, and thyme. The apples give the sauce a mild sweet-tart flavor that pairs well with pork. Serve with mashed or roasted potatoes.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Prepare the pork chops

    5 min

    Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Make several slits in the fat along the edges to keep the chops from curling as they cook. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Sear the chops

    8 min

    Heat the oil in a large skillet and sear the chops for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and cover.

  3. Add the onion and apples

    7 min

    Melt the butter in the pan drippings. Cut the onion into wedges, add it to the skillet, and cook for 3 minutes. Core the apples, cut them into wedges, and add them to the onion along with the thyme. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until the edges begin to brown.

  4. Simmer

    8 min

    Pour in 150 ml water and return the chops to the skillet along with any juices that have collected on the plate. Cover and simmer over low heat for 6–8 minutes, until the chops are cooked through and the juices near the bone run clear. Serve with mashed potatoes.

Tip: Let the pork chops sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before searing so they cook more evenly. Choose firm, tart apples that will hold their shape as they simmer.
