Pork Chops with Apples and Onions

This meal is pretty fast to make. You need about 3 hours in the oven so be sure to make it with plenty of time before dinner.  The apples and onions are caramelized from being in the oven so long and just give it an oh my goodness flavor!  I used small pork chops but feel free to use the larger bone in ones.  

Pork Chops with Apples and Onions

Adapted from a recipe found on Melskitchencafe

Yield: Serves 4-6

Ingredients You'll Need:

• 8 small pork chops 
• 4 granny smith apples, peeled and sliced about 1/4-inch thick
• 1-2 yellow onions, sliced
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. 
• Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. 
• Place the onion slices in an even layer over the bottom of the dish. Top the onion slices with the apples. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the apples and onions. 
• Season the pork chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange the pork chops in a single layer on top of the apples and onions. 
• Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for three hours. 
• DO NOT open the oven and lift the foil – the pork chops, apples and onions need to be tightly covered the whole time to work their magic (and not dry out).

I made mashed potatoes and gravy to go with my pork chops.  But it's up to you!  Sides the limit! Get it? Haha I crack myself up!
