Ingredients: • 4 pork chops • Salt and pepper to taste • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 2 tablespoons butter • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored and sliced • 1 onion, sliced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 1/2 cup chicken broth • 1/4 cup apple cider • 2 tablespoons brown sugar • 1 teaspoon dried thyme • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions:

1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the apples, onion, and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the onions are translucent.
4. Add the chicken broth, apple cider, brown sugar, and thyme to the skillet and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
5. Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
6. Serve the pork chops with apples hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

This dish is a great way to incorporate seasonal ingredients into your meal. You can use any variety of apples that you like, but firmer apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, work best as they hold their shape when cooked.

If you prefer a sweeter dish, you can add more brown sugar or a drizzle of honey to the sauce. If you like a little bit of heat, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.

Pork chops with apples can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables. This dish is also great served with a crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
