Pan-Oven Pork Chops



I know it’s not good for me, but every now and then I get a craving for pork chops prepared in that seasoned breading that comes in a box; this recipe was created to help curb those cravings. My cupboard is always stocked with **homemade applesauce - this paired perfectly with the pork.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons grape seed oil
  • 2 bone-in pork chops
  • Salt and pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Rinse pork chops, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.

In an oven-safe sauté pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Reduce heat to medium. Place chops in the pan and cook for 4 minutes. Flip chops over and place pan in oven to bake for 8 – 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Top with your favorite apple sauce.

**My applesauce is pretty simple: chopped/peeled apples in a stock pot over medium-low heat, a cinnamon stick, half of a whole nutmeg, and time. Let simmer all day or until it breaks down to desired consistency.
