Applesauce Pork Chops Recipe

Applesauce Pork Chops Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 apple – peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 2 (1/2-inch thick) pork chops
  • 3/4 cup applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper to taste
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and apple slices in the melted butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer onion and apple to a bowl.
  3. Place pork chops in the same skillet; cook over medium heat until pork chops are browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  4. Mix applesauce, brown sugar, mustard, and cinnamon into onion and apple mixture.
  5. Place pork chops in a 9×9-inch baking dish; season with salt and black pepper. Spoon applesauce mixture over pork chops; cover dish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until pork chops are no longer pink in the center, about 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
