Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 2 cups fresh apples, chopped
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
- Optional: cranberries or raisins for added sweetness
Instructions
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Set aside and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, sauté diced onions until translucent. Add chopped apples, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, and ginger. Simmer on low for 15-20 minutes until thickened and apples are soft.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet with the apple chutney. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 10 minutes to meld flavors. Drizzle with apple gravy if desired.
- Serve hot, topped with warm apple chutney, with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh greens or a salad as a side.
Notes
- Try adding dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots for extra sweetness.
- For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of coconut milk or fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
