Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork loin chops at least 1/2-inch thick
- 2-3 medium Granny Smith apples peeled and sliced about 1/4-inch thick
- 1-2 medium yellow onions sliced
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place the onion slices in an even layer over the bottom of the dish. Top the onion slices with the apples. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the apples and onions. Season the pork chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange the pork chops in a single layer on top of the apples and onions.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for three hours. Do not open the oven and lift the foil – the pork chops, apples and onions need to be tightly covered the whole time to work their magic (and not dry out).
- Serve each pork chop with Parmesan smashed potatoes and topped with the apples and onions.
