Serves: 4
Ingredients
Spice Rub
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
- 4 boneless pork loin chops (1-inch thick)
- 5 cups apples (cored and sliced, peel on if preferred)
- 1 cup red onion (sliced)
- 1⁄2 cup chicken broth
Spiced Maple Sauce
- 1⁄2 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon allspice
- 1⁄8 teaspoon clove
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Directions
- Mix all ingredients in spice rub together and sprinkle over chops top and bottom.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Spray an oven proof, non-stick skillet with lid with cooking spray.
- Brown chops 3 minutes per side on medium high heat, uncovered. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add apples and onions to skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until they start to brown.
- Place chops over apple/onion mixture.
- Pour in chicken broth, cover and cook about 20 minutes. The pork chops should reach 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Take the chops out of the oven and let stand for 10 minutes to completely cook the chops and not dry them out.
- After taking chops out of oven combine spiced maple sauce ingredients in a small sauce pan.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until mixture reduces to desired consistency. We like ours thin, so we only cooked about two minutes.
- Pour sauce over chops and apples. Enjoy.
