One Skillet Apple Butter Pork Chops
Nothing says fall like pork chops and apples, and this warm, cozy skillet meal takes it over the top! It's packed with flavor from not only the apple and pork chops, but we're making a creamy sauce with apple butter, brown sugar, and cream and spicing it up with some cinnamon, and a little chili powder, too. It's quick, easy, delicious, and only one pan to clean up!
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Season both sides of each pork chop with salt and pepper.
-
Melt 2 tbsp butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the pork chops and cook each side for 3 minutes. Place pork chops on a plate and allow them to rest while you cook the apples.
-
Using the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tbsp of butter. Add the apple slices and allow to cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Pour in the apple butter (you can use a bit more if you want, but it does get pretty sweet), brown sugar, and chili powder. Stir to combine. Add in the cream and continue to stir. Bring to a light boil.
-
Add the pork chops, pushing aside the apples to make sure the bottoms of each pork chop are touching the skillet. Spoon a tbsp of apple butter onto each side of each pork chop as you cook. Cook each pork chop for about 4 more minutes on each side. Cook until pork is cooked through to your liking. Cooked pork chops should be 145°F internally.
-
Serve hot with the apple mixture spooned over the pork.
