By kristentirrell

Ingredients

• 4 1/2-inch-thick bone-in pork chops
• Salt
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced
• 1/2 cup apricot jam
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Preparation

Step 1

1. Sprinkle pork chops with salt. Place flour in a shallow bowl and dredge chops on both sides.

2. Warm 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chops until browned, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil to keep warm.

3. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, shallot and apples to skillet. Cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add jam, vinegar and broth; cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits on bottom of skillet, until sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Season sauce with salt, pour over chops and serve.
