A simple baked pork chop recipe that results in a very aromatic and sweet apple flavor. The mix of the herbes de provence and cloves really make your kitchen smell wonderful while you are baking this dish as well. Ingredients:
6 pork loin chops (trimmed of excess fat) |
1 onion |
5 apples (braeburn or granny smith) |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup flour (or enough to coat chops) |
3 tablespoons herbes de provence |
1 pinch salt |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon clove |
1/2 beef bouillon cube |
1 cup water |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).
2. Peel, core and slice apples, then set aside.
3. Chop onion and saute with 1 tbsp butter over medium high heat. Set onions aside and keep juices in pan for browning the pork chops.
4. Combine flour and herbs de provence on a plate, and dredge pork chops in the mixture. Brown chops in fry pan over medium high heat with remaining 1 tbsp butter. 3-4 minutes a side should do. Place finished chops in a 9x13 baking dish, and sprinkle a bit of salt on top of them.
5. In a large mixing bowl combine brown sugar, cloves, bullion with 1 cup of boiling water (Tip: I simply use an instant tea kettle) and add chopped apples.
6. Pour apple mixture and sauted onions on top of pork chops, cover, and place in oven.
7. Heat covered for 1 hour, then uncovered for 5 minutes.
