Pork Chops and Apples

Drool.

Once again I must apologize for the long gap between posts! The holidays got the best of me and I fell out of the blogging routine. Not to mention that Chicago’s dim winter lighting does not lend itself to food photography…

Nonetheless, I haven’t stopped cooking (or eating). Today I’m drooling over this classic autumn-themed dish that happens to be good all year ’round: pork chops and apples. My dad made this a lot and it’s always a classic. This time, I cooked it up at my mom’s place with the help of my sister for a fun family-style meal.

Pro tip: use an apple corer.

Yeah, not many prep tips for this one. Just some light chopping, sauteing, simmering, and searing.

Cook onion in the skillet until slightly limp. Stir in brown sugar and vinegar and add broth. Cook mixture for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour the sauce over the chops and apples. Serve immediately.
