This turned out soooo good last night! I am really happy to share this one. The original recipe I got some time ago by doing a google search and for the life of me I cannot find the site again. So my apologies for not giving credit. I changed quite a few things anyway. You can also use this same recipe on chicken. I made Stove Top Pork stuffing and a salad with it. This recipe serves 4 people.
Ingredients for the Chops
4 Butterfly cut pork loin chops
1 large apple (I prefer fuji or honeycrisp), diced
pumpkin spice
garlic minced or powder which ever you prefer
season salt
2 table spoons brown sugar
pecans if desired
1 cup apple cider
Preheat oven to 375. Place chops in glass baking dish and sprinkle on pumpkin spice, garlic, season salt. Poke chops several times with a fork to get the seasonings in side the meat. Add the apple cider to the bottom of the dish. Don't pour it over the top because this will take the spices off the meat. Place diced apples on top of the meat and sprinkle on brown sugar. Bake for 40 minutes. If using pecans, add them the last 20 minutes or they will burn.
Apple Glaze Ingredients:
1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 cup pineapple preserves
pumpkin spice
1 table spoon flour
If you can't find pineapple preserves...I have reversed the recipe and it turns out just as good...use apple preserves and pineapple juice instead.
Place apple cider and a dash of pumpkin spice in a small sauce pan on medium heat. Heat for a few minutes, then whisk in pineapple preserves, then whisk in flour until the clumps are gone. Heat until bubbly. The glaze should be a little thick. If you think it is too thick just add a little cider to thin it out. Pour over meat when it is finished baking and serve.
Baking the meat with the cider really helps keep it juicy. This is a sweet and flavorful dish and one we love. Hope you enjoy it too!
