Chef's Note

For extra juicy pork chops, let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking. The quick homemade applesauce is much tastier than store-bought and pairs perfectly with the savory pork. If you're short on time, you can use unsweetened store-bought applesauce and just warm it with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz bone-in pork chop

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • 2 medium apples

  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  • 2 tbsp water

  • 1 large russet potato

  • 1 cup broccoli

  • 1 tsp butter

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • 2

    Season the 8 oz pork chop with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder on both sides.

  • 3

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp olive oil. Sear the pork chop for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  • 4

    Transfer the pork chop to a baking dish and place in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  • 5

    While the pork chop is baking, peel, core, and dice 2 medium apples into small chunks.

  • 6

    In a small saucepan, combine the diced apples, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp water.

  • 7

    Cook the apple mixture over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and can be mashed with a fork into a chunky applesauce.

  • 8

    Wash and pierce 1 large russet potato with a fork several times. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, turn over, and microwave for another 3-5 minutes until tender.

  • 9

    Steam 1 cup broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water, covered with a plate, for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender.

  • 10

    Cut open the baked potato, fluff the inside with a fork, and add 1 tsp butter.

  • 11

    Let the pork chop rest for 3 minutes after removing from the oven.

  • 12

    Serve the pork chop with the homemade applesauce on top or on the side, along with the baked potato and steamed broccoli.
