Apples and pork make for one tasty combination - it's no wonder this flavor pairing has been around for centuries! In our recipe for Orchard Pork Chops, we really amped up the "a-peel" by using fresh apples, apple juice, and apple cider vinegar to make this mouthwatering fall dish.
What You'll Need
- 1 1/2 cups apple juice or apple cider
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 bone-in center cut pork chops (6 to 8 ounces each)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 apple, chopped
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
What to Do
- In a 9- x 13-inch baking dish, combine apple juice, vinegar, and garlic; mix well. Add pork chops, cover, and refrigerate about 2 hours, turning occasionally. Remove chops from marinade, reserving marinade, and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until hot. Add chops and cook 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until no longer pink in center.
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter; saute apples 5 minutes, or until tender. Place 1/4 cup marinade in a small bowl, whisk in flour, cinnamon and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add remaining marinade to apples and bring to a boil. Add flour mixture to apple mixture and heat 2 to 3 minutes, or until thickened. Serve over pork chops.

Hello! This recipe really works best with pork and ham, but it could be used with lamb chops veal chops or even chicken breasts. Hope that helps. :)
