Gather Ingredients from the list below
Directions
1.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to 145°F internally. Remove and let rest for 3 minutes.
2.
In the same skillet, melt butter and add sliced apples and shallots. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
3.
Pour in apple cider and simmer for 2–3 minutes, scraping up the browned bits from the pan.
4.
Spread a generous spoonful of warm apple purée onto each plate. Place a pork chop on top, spoon over the sautéed apples, shallots and pan sauce, and finish with fresh parsley, additional thin apple slices and cracked black pepper.
5.
Use a tart apple like Granny Smith for the pan sauce and a sweeter apple like Honeycrisp for the fresh garnish. Serve and enjoy!
