Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in pork chops
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temp 10 minutes.

  2. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Add apple and onion to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4-5 minutes. Remove from skillet.
