Pork Chops In Apple Gravy

Instructions

1. Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add the sliced apples, onion, and garlic. Cook until the apples and onions are softened, about 5 minutes.

4. Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

5. Sprinkle in the dried thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.

6. Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the apple and onion mixture.

7. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the pork chops simmer in the apple gravy for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and tender.

8. Check the pork chops for doneness by ensuring they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

9. Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a serving platter.

10. Increase the heat under the skillet to medium-high and simmer the apple gravy until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

11. Pour the apple gravy over the pork chops and serve hot.
