***Caramel Apple Pork Chops***

It’s clear that pork and apples are simply meant to be, and who are we to try and keep them apart? For our particular take on this perfect marriage we suggest using four center cut, bone-in pork chops about an inch thick. While your pork might cook a little quicker if you go with a boneless chop, bone-in chops are a little juicier. Pork chops by nature are a leaner cut of meat, so it’s easier to dry out your meat pretty quickly.
Because the apples are going to be cooked down and peeled, this is a great recipe to whip out on a hectic week night if you have a couple ugly neglected apples sitting in your fruit bowl and are trying to avoid a three hour pie-making endeavor- but make sure you still use your The Bean & The Leaf Apple Pie Spice to help balance your apples and brown sugar with some nice warming spice. Our Apple Pie Spice is made with Korintje cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger root, and cardamom, and the blend of these spices complement the sweetness of the pork, apples, and raisins by grounding the flavors and keep it from feeling like your pork chops were fished out of a sundae bar!
This is a recipe that’s fast, made with relatively inexpensive ingredients (that you might already have most of), and produces a meal that definitely feels a lot fancier and harder to make than it actually is.
Ingredients:
4 Center cut pork loin chops-3/4 inch cut
2 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 tsp The Bean & The Leaf Apple Pie Spice
2 Tbsp butter-unsalted
2 Granny Smith apples- peeled, cored, and sliced
¼ Cup golden raisins
Directions:
Preheat oven to 200F. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Place chops on preheated grill. Cook pork chops about 3 minutes per side, or until done. You can also do this on the stove in a pan. Place chops in baking dish and cover, and place in 200F oven.
In a skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter. Add apples, brown sugar, raisins, and The Bean & The Leaf Apple Pie Spice. Cover, and cook until apples are soft, stirring frequently.
When apples are softened, remove from pan and reduce sauce until slightly thickened. Add apples back to sauce.
Remove pork chops from oven. Spoon caramel apple mixture over pork chops. Serve and Enjoy!
