Recipe Corner: Apple Cinnamon Porkchops

      So it has been a few weeks since I have been able to consistently cook healthy home cooked meals, between tight budgets, Thanksgiving feasts, lack of good sales, and being sick, eating well has taken a back seat.  I finally was able to get to this recipe I have been dying to try and it was delicious. It doesn't look as grand and glorious as some other meals (although it looks pretty in the pictures I originally got the recipe from, so maybe you can do better) but it sure tasted delicious and even more so after the pork chops sat for a while in the yumminess.

THE INGREDIENTS:
4 Rib pork chops, bone-in, about 3/4-inch thick
Salt and pepper
Optional, The Spice Hunter Grill Shakers Pork Garlic Pepper
3 tablespoons butter, divided (2tbsp and 1tbsp)
2 apples, thinly sliced
1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Pinch ground cayenne pepper
2/3 cup apple cider (I used 3 apples in my juicer instead of regular cider)
1/3 cup heavy cream

 

 

Pull out the Pork Chops and season generously with Salt, Pepper, and the Pork Grill Shaker, set aside!

If choosing to juice apples, do that now!

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter into a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until brown, about 3minutes on each side. Take them out and set them aside.

Melt the rest of the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat and toss in the apples and onion. I had to continue stirring and it only took 2-3 minutes for the onions to turn translucent, but this may vary. Stir in the Brown Sugar, cayenne, and cinnamon, and mix and then add the cream and apple cider/juice. Add the pork chops back in and be sure to cover them sufficiently. Continue to cook until done. I suggest cooking longer at a lower heat, the longer the sat the more flavor they had.

Finally Enjoy! It makes the house smell absolutely amazing!
