Boneless Apple Cider Pork Chops
Boneless apple cider pork chops combine the savory taste of seared seasoned pork chops with tangy fall cider and sweet caramelized apples. A perfect family friendly autumn meal!
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops Boneless, ½ inch thick
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 apple cored and thinly sliced
- 1 small yellow onion cut in half and thinly sliced
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- ¾ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ¾ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup apple cider
Instructions
- Mix paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl, then season pork chops on both sides.
- Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Add pork chops and sear for 2-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove, transfer to a plate and cover.
- Add the apple,onion, and garlic to the skillet and cook until onion is caramelized and apples are softened, 6-8 minutes. Add rosemary, thyme and apple cider. Bring mixture to a simmer, then return pork chops to the pan and cook until apple cider is reduced by half and the pork chops register 145 degrees on a meat thermometer, approximately another 6-8 minutes. Do not overcook.
- Remove pork chops to a clean platter and top with apples and onions for serving. Garnish with parsley or fresh rosemary if desired.
Notes
Use a sweet apple such as Braeburn, Fuji, Gala or Honeycrisp to complement the salty pork.
Heat the olive oil in the skillet for a couple of minutes before adding the pork chops for searing. This will bring it to the correct temperature to turn it golden brown and seal in the juices.
