Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  2. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  3. salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  4. 4 pork chops
  5. 1 tablespoon butter
  6. 1 large apple – peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  7. ½ cup apple juice
  8. ½ cup heavy cream
  9. 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Combine oil, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large, shallow dish. Add pork chops to the dish, brush with oil mixture, and set aside for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook pork chops until browned on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until lightly browned on the other side and juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork chops to a serving plate, cover, and keep warm.
  3. Reduce heat and add butter to the same skillet. Cook and stir apple slices in melted butter until slightly softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer apples to the serving plate with pork chops, cover, and keep warm.
  4. Stir together apple juice, cream, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to the skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food from the bottom of the pan. Cook and stir until sauce starts to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour sauce over pork chops and apples to serve.
  5. You can use 1 teaspoon dried thyme instead of fresh thyme.

I actually had fun making this recipe and it is absolutely delicious – it even smelled fantastic while cooking! I am sending this recipe to all my children to enjoy. My only modifications were that in place of the apple juice, I substituted plain applesauce (I didn’t have any juice), and I added about 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the apples when almost done. Poured sauce over steamed potatoes for a side. WOW the flavor is outstanding and will make this the next time I’m having company over!
