Pork Chops With Caramelized Onion and Apples

This is one of my favorite dinners especially on a chilly night. It's not a heavy meal but the smells of the onion, apple and rosemary  cooking together warm up the whole house!

I originally found this recipe in an issue of Cooking with Paula Deen but over time I've tweaked it a bit.

  • Pork chops (1 per serving)
  • Apple (I used half of a large one for 3 servings) Thinly sliced
  • Onion (I used half of a large white onion) Thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • Olive oil for the pan
  • White Wine



  1. Season pork chops to taste with salt and pepper if desired and cook in a skillet with oil. 
  2. Now the fun part! Remove pork to a plate and put onions, apples and rosemary in the hot skillet.
  3. Reduce heat to medium/medium low and add enough white wine to deglaze the skillet, about 1/4 cup. If you don't have white wine you can use chicken broth which is what the recipe originally called for I think but if you're like me and you use bouillon, it's a pain to just make 1/4 cup. Even before I used bouillon I thought it was a hassle to buy a whole container of broth just to use such a small amount. 
  4. Stir and keep cooking until the onions are soft and brown. It will smell amazing!
That's all really. It's so easy and very tasty. Just top the pork with the onion mixture and serve with whatever sides you like.
Enjoy!
