    Baked Pork Chops with Apples Ingredients

    • pork chops on the bone about ¾ inch thick
    • olive oil
    • kosher salt + pepper to taste
    • brown sugar
    • sage leaves
    • butter
    • chicken stock
    • marsala wine
    • thyme leaves
    • apples, sliced

    Pork Chops with Apples Recipe

    1. Preheat the oven to 450° F.
    2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the pork chops with olive oil, followed by salt, pepper, and sugar. Make sure to coat evenly.
    3. Once the skillet is hot, add the pork chops. Sear them on one side for about 2 minutes. Add the sage leaves to the pan and turn the pork chops to sear the other side.
    4. Add the butter to the pan let it melt and brown a little.
    5. Gradually pour in the chicken stock and marsala.
    6. Mix well, then add the thyme leaves. Bring the sauce to a boil.
    7. Add the sliced apples. Turn off the heat and transfer the skillet to the oven.
    8. Bake for around 15 minutes.
    9. The sauce should be nice and thick. If the sauce is not thick enough, remove the pork chops from the pan and simmer the sauce on low on the stovetop.

    Apple Baked Pork Chops Tips

    • I prefer bone-in pork chops but boneless also works well.
    • You can substitute sherry or port for the marsala wine.
    • If you want a thicker sauce, transfer the pork chops to a warm plate and cover them with foil. Heat the sauce in the skillet for a few minutes until it thickens up.
    • You can use bone-in or boneless pork chops in this recipe. They both work really well.
    • The sweet apples are enhanced by a little kick of Marsala (a sweet wine).  If you don’t have Marsala on hand, a sweet sherry or light port will do the trick.

    Seasonings for Pork Chops

    One of the great flavors in this easy Baked Apple Pork Chops dinner is sage and thyme. They are part of the reason this dish is just bursting with flavor!

    If you have fresh herbs, go ahead and use them in this recipe. Here’s the best part, these flavorful pork chops are just as good using dried herbs that you have in your pantry. This is my all-time favorite pork chop seasoning!

    Pork Chops and Apples

    If you have ever tried apple sauce on the side of pork, this version is so much better! One of the things I love about this recipe is that the apples are left in slices and are a bit firm.

    Sliced Baked Apples and Stewed Apples are so sweet and out of this world. The sweetness really comes out when they bake alongside the pork.

    Apple Pork Chops FAQs

    How long do you cook pork chops in the oven?

    Pork Chops that are approximately 1 inch thick will be in approximately 15 minutes in a 450° oven.

    What is the safe temperature for pork chops?

    The safe temperature for pork chops is 145°. I recommend always using a meat thermometer to check your meat is cooked to the proper temperature.

    Best Apples for Baking

    We recommend these apples when baking apples because they will not fall apart during the baking process. 

    • Honeycrisp 
    • Granny Smith Apples
    • Braeburn
    • Rome 
    • Golden Delicious
    • Gala
    • If you haven’t tried this new variety, Rubyfrost, it is a must! Its texture and vanilla flavor make it great for snacking, but it’s sturdy enough for baking. It is a perfect choice for this dish.
    • The other new variety worth mentioning is the Jazz apple. They are extra juicy with a sweet-tart flavor similar to pears. They do really well in all baked recipes.
