Instructions
- Sprinkle the pork chops all over with ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5-6 minutes, flip, and continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145ºF. Transfer to a clean plate.
- Add onion and apples to the skillet the pork chops were in. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the apples begin to soften. Transfer to the plate with the pork chops.
- Return the skillet to the burner and add the butter. Once melted, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Whisk in the flour and mustard. Once a thick paste forms, pour in ½ cup of the broth and whisk until smooth. Add the rosemary, thyme, cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes, whisking constantly, or until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Whisk in the remaining ½ cup broth and simmer for 2 more minutes. Return the apples and onions to the skillet and stir until evenly coated.
- Nestle the pork chops in with the apples and onions, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by half and the pork chops are heated through.
- Serve pork chops, apples, and onions with additional thyme, if desired.
Notes
- Pork rib chops: These are cut from the rib section of the loin, offering extra tenderness and rich flavor due to their marbling. If you can't find pork rib chops, bone-in pork chops will still work beautifully for this recipe, though the flavor may be slightly less rich.
- Thickness of chops: For the perfect balance of sear and juiciness, look for pork chops that are no more than 1-inch thick. This thickness ensures they cook evenly without drying out.
