Ingredients
-
6 pork chops
-
1 teaspoon onion powder, or to taste
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
-
1 ½ teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning, or to taste
-
1 cup finely crushed cornflake crumbs, or as needed
-
7 apples - peeled, cored and cut into wedges
-
1 ½ cups apple juice, or as needed
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
¾ teaspoon ground allspice, or to taste
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
⅔ cup brown sugar
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a baking rack into a large, shallow baking sheet with sides.
-
Sprinkle each pork chop with onion powder, garlic powder, and lemon pepper seasoning. Place the cornflake crumbs into a shallow dish, and thoroughly dredge each pork chop in the crumbs, pressing the chops into the crumbs with a fork. Gently brush away any loose crumbs, and place the pork chops onto the baking rack.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the chops are no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
-
While chops are baking, place the apple wedges into a large saucepan over medium heat, and pour in enough apple juice to reach depth of 2 inches above the apples. Mix in the cinnamon, allspice, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until apples are soft when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
-
To serve, place a pork chop in the center of a plate, and arrange apple slices decoratively up one side, over the top, and down the other side of the chop. Drizzle each chop with the apple liquid; serve remaining sauce separately.
Cook's Notes
If the pork chops are baked raised up off the baking pan, there is no need to turn them over. I have fixed this same recipe, but used chicken breasts. And that's pretty yummy, too.
