Ingredients

  • Cast Iron Pan

  • 4 Thick Bone in Pork Chops

  • 2 Granny Smith Apples

  • Olive Oil

  • Salt, Pepper, Garlic, Paprika, Cumin

  • Fresh Cilantro


Preparation

Step 1


Dry the pork chops. Mix all spices together (as per your taste. I go a little heavy on the cumin for the smokey taste to accent the apple) and thoroughly rub both sides of the pork chop.



Step 2


Drizzle the bottom of the cast iron with olive sear. Sear the chops on medium heat (about 5 minutes each side) until each side is brown and the sides are no longer pink.



Step 3


Move the cast iron pan from the heat. Slice the apples into wedges and place them around and on the pork chops. Place the pan in a pre-heated oven and bake for 25 minutes at 375 degrees.



Step 4


Remove pan from the oven and let the chops sit for 5 minutes for the juices to set. Sprinkle them with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve with mashed potatoes, apple sauce and vegetable or choice. You may also serve with gravy :) I will be doing a gravy page in the near future as well.
