Ingredients

Scale

4 bone-in pork chops (6 oz each)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 medium tart apples (Granny Smith), chopped
1 large sweet onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp dried sage
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients by chopping apples and onions into bite-sized pieces.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper and sear until golden brown, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add onions and garlic; cook until translucent (about 3–4 minutes).
Stir in apples, sage, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar; cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
Pour in chicken broth while scraping any browned bits from the skillet. Return pork chops to the pan and spoon gravy over them. Simmer for about 15 minutes until fully cooked through.
