Cranberry-Apple Pork Chops

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. First things first, season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add the pork chops. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and cooked through. You want them nice and juicy, not dry!
  3. While the chops are cooking, grab a separate bowl and mix together the cranberries, sliced apples, apple juice, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and balsamic vinegar.
  4. Once the pork chops are done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. In the same skillet, add your cranberry-apple mixture. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the cranberries burst, and everything is nice and bubbly.
  5. Put the pork chops back in the skillet, spooning some of that tasty sauce over the top. Let it cook together on low heat for another 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld beautifully.
  6. Finally, serve those pork chops up with the cranberry-apple sauce drizzled over them. They’re great alongside some rice or roasted veggies to soak up all that luscious goodness!

There you have it! A dish that’s not only easy to whip up but is also packed with flavor. Your family and friends will be begging for seconds, trust me! Enjoy!
