Best Pork Chops with Apples

 By DELISH this recipe was easy and tasty. We served it over rice which was great with the apple cider sauce.

4 boneless pork chops 

1 tsp. smoked paprika 

Kosher salt 

Freshly ground black pepper 

2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 

1 apple, cored and thinly sliced 

1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced 

2 cloves garlic, minced 

2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary 

2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves 

1 c. apple cider

Step 1 

Season pork chops all over with paprika, salt, and pepper.  

Step 2 

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add pork chops and cook, turning halfway through, until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.  

Step 3 

To the same skillet, add apple, onion, and garlic and cook until apples and onion are browned and slightly softened, about 8 minutes. Add herbs, and apple cider and bring to a simmer. Return pork chops to skillet and simmer until cider is almost completely reduced and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chops registers 145°, 6 to 8 more minutes.
