Ingredients
Pork loin chops: These flavorful cuts of meat are typically pretty lean, and they work really well when seared in a hot pan or kissed on a hot grill.
Apples: Apples and pork are a classic combination. The juicy fruit is both tart and sweet, which helps cut through the richness of the meat and complements the savory notes with fruity flavor.
Onion: In this pork chops with onions and apples recipe we sear the onions in a hot pan, then layer them with apples, pork chop and seasonings. It lets the onions develop a sweet, caramelized flavor that perfectly complements the meat.
Balsamic vinaigrette: Balsamic vinegar is dark and aromatic with deeply sweet and sour notes that taste vibrant and complex when paired with mild meats like pork.
Instructions
Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; brown pork chops on both sides, about 4 minutes. Remove from pan.
In same skillet, combine apples, onion and water. Place pork chops over apple mixture; drizzle chops with vinaigrette. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until a thermometer inserted in chops reads 145°, 3-5 minutes.
