Editor’s Note: When it comes to classic meals, this recipe for Pork Chops With Caramelized Apples hits all the right notes! This easy pork chop recipe will be a delicious addition to your meal planning rotation and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. The pork chops will look simply elegant when served for dinner, too. Although you can’t go wrong with apple selection, consider using a tart apple, such as Granny Smith, when making this recipe. This easy recipe for fall is just what you need when the temperature starts to dip.
I love this combination of flavor: when pork and apples are cooked like this, they make a perfect supper or big lunch.
