- 4 bone-in pork chops 1 - 1 1/2 inches thick
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cups cubed butternut squash 1 inch pieces
- 2 Granny Smith apples thickly sliced or chopped
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 rosemary sprigs minced
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
Rub:
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon all spice
Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Make the Rub:
- Mix the rub ingredients in a small bowl and rub the mixture into pork chops.
Saute:
- Set the Instant Pot to Sauté, on medium heat. Once it reads “hot,” add the oil and brown the pork chops for about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the cinnamon stick, rosemary, applesauce, and broth to the pot. Mix to combine, place a trivet and arrange the pork chops onto it.
Pressure Cook the Meat:
- Cover with the lid, lock it, and make sure the valve points to sealing. After that, cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
- Remove the pork chops and arrange them on a plate to rest. Cover with foil to keep them warm.
Pressure cook the Apples and Squash:
- Add the apples and butternut squash to the pot and pressure cook for 1 minute followed by a quick release.
- Using a large slotted spoon, remove the veggie and add to the plate with the pork.
Make the Sauce:
- Click on saute.
- Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with water until dissolved, and it with the brown sugar and cinnamon to the pot.
- Boil down until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
Serve:
- Pour the sauce over the pork chops, apples, and butternut squash and serve.
