Applesauce Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 apple – peeled, cored, and sliced
• 2 (1/2-inch thick) pork chops
• 3/4 cup applesauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and apple slices in the melted butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer onion and apple to a bowl.

Place pork chops in the same skillet; cook over medium heat until pork chops are browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.

Mix applesauce, brown sugar, mustard, and cinnamon into onion and apple mixture.

Place pork chops in a 9×9-inch baking dish; season with salt and black pepper. Spoon applesauce mixture over pork chops; cover dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until pork chops are no longer pink in the center, about 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
