1 large Granny Smith, Gala, or McIntosh Apple, peeled – cored and thinly sliced
Dash of Crushed Red Pepper
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup apple cider
Instructions
Heat 2 – 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Season both sides of pork with salt and pepper. Sear pork on both sides – roughly 6-8 minutes until it has a golden sear. Remove pork chops to a plate. Turn heat to medium in pan.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add onions, crushed red pepper, and salt/pepper. Saute for 4 – 5 minutes until the onions begin to soften.
Add apples, cinnamon, and sugar. Stir to combine. Saute for 2 minutes. Add apple cider. Place pork chops on top of apple/onion mixture.
Simmer and cook until the cider has reduced in half. If desired, you can add a dash or two of ground black pepper. Serve apple-onion mixture on top of pork chops.
