Apples N Onion Topped Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; brown pork chops on both sides, about 4 minutes. Remove from pan., In same skillet, combine apples, onion and water. Place pork chops over apple mixture; drizzle chops with vinaigrette. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until a thermometer inserted in chops reads 145°, 3-5 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix flour, sage, garlic, thyme, salt, allspice, and paprika together in a small bowl. Set aside 2/3 of the spice mixture for later use. Sprinkle remaining spice mixture onto the pork chops, coating all sides.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove pork from the skillet.
• Add onion to the skillet and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add apples; cook and stir for 2 more minutes. Stir in apple juice, brown sugar, and reserved spice mixture; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until pork is longer pink in the center, and reaches desired level of doneness, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Place the pork chops on a plate and set aside.
• Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Add the sherry and the cider and cook, stirring contantly, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the apples, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Lower the heat and cook for 5 minutes.
• Push the pork chops down into the apple mixture and pour any juices accumulated on the plate over them. Cover with foil and bake until the pork chops are tender and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Uncover and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Divide among 4 plates and serve.

Steps:

• Trim the chops of excess fat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a 14-inch cast-iron skillet (if you have a smaller one, you'll need to work in batches) over high heat, and then swirl in the olive oil. Lay in the pork chops and don't move them for a few minutes, to assure a good golden sear forms. Turn and brown well on the second side for a total of about 10 minutes. Transfer the chops to a warm plate.
• Swirl the butter into the pan. Add the onion and apples. Saute until the onion slices are lightly caramelized and the apples have begun to soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in the beer or other liquid. Return chops to the pan.
• Cook until the pork is tender, about 15 more minutes (depending on the size of the chops), turning halfway through and covering the chops with the apple mixture. If the apple mixture needs a little thickening, transfer the chops to the warm plate again and simmer the mixture on high for a few minutes to reduce. Serve the chops over rice or mashed potatoes with a large spoonful of the apple-onion mixture over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season the pork chops generously with salt. Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring it to a high heat. Sear the pork on both sides and on the fat edge, working in batches if the chops don't all fit in the pan at the same time. Be sure not to crowd the pan. Remove the pork from the pan and place on a cookie sheet. Finish the pork in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• Ditch the excess fat from the saute pan. Give a drizzle of fresh olive oil and add the onions and crushed red pepper and season with salt. Cook until the onions become soft and aromatic. Add the apples, cinnamon and rosemary and toss to coat with the oil. Add the cider and cook until the cider has reduced by two-thirds and the onion-apple mixture is very soft and saucy. Serve over the pork chops.
• Porky deliciousness!

Steps:

• In large non stick skillet coated with non stick cooking spray, cook chops on each side or until brown.
• Remove meat, set aside, and keep warm.
• In same skillet, cook and stir onion in oil for seven minutes or til golden brown.
• Add apple slices, cook and stir 3 minutes longer.
• Combine water, brown sugar, vineagar, garlic powder and salt, pepper and rosemary.
• Stir into skillet.
• Bring to a boil.
• Return to meat pan.
• Reduce heat.
• Cover and simmer 8-10 minutes until reads 160°F.

Steps:

• Combine onion, apple, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, thyme, and rosemary in a skillet; cook and stir mixture over medium heat until onion is lightly browned and apples are softened, about 15 minutes. Sweeten with brown sugar to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
• Arrange pork chops in a separate skillet; season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Drizzle 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil over pork chops. Cook pork chops over medium heat until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Transfer pork chops to a serving dish and top with apple-onion topping. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pat chops dry and salt & pepper on each side.
• 2. Peel and quarter apples, remove core and slice about 1/4" thick. Put into a bowl and toss with brown sugar, cinnamon and water and set aside.
• 3. In large oven proof skillet or chicken fryer, heat a little olive oil or margarine over high heat, just enough to coat the bottom of the skillet. Sear the chops on one side only for about 3-4 minutes or until nicely seared. Remove chops to a plate.
• 4. Add apple mixture to the pan drippings in the skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 5-10 minutes or until liquid comes to a boil and apples just begin to soften. Remove from heat. Remove about half of the apples, add the sliced onions to the remaining apples in the skillet and toss well.
• 5. Place chops over apples and onions, seared side up, top each chop with a pat of butter, and cover with remaining apples.
• 6. Cover with lid or foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove and baste with liquid in the skillet. Cover and bake another 15 minutes or until internal temp reaches at least 145 degrees (medium-rare), 160 degrees (medium), or 170 degrees (well-done) on a meat thermometer.
• 7. Allow to rest 15 minutes before serving. Meat temperature will continue to rise another 5-10 degrees while resting so keep that in mind when calculating when to remove your chops from the oven. *NOTE: If chops are boneless, cooking time may need to be reduced. If chops are thicker then oven time may need to be increased. *TIPS - for larger quantities, allow 1 apple, 1 T brown sugar, 1 pat butter per chop and 1 small onion per two additional chops. Sear chops in batches and after deglazing pan with apples and liquid transfer ingredients to a large baking pan, following layering instructions. Bake as instructed above.

Steps:

• Put chops in a baking pan.
• Sprinkle with sliced onions and place apple slices on top.
• Pour orange juice over all and then season.
• Bake at 350 degrees F. for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on thickness of chops.
• Baste during cooking and about 15 minutes before done, turn chops. *If you prefer, you may brush with bottled sweet and sour sauce now too.
