Ingredients
Scale
Pork Chops:
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 boneless pork chops (the best pork chops I’ve found!)
- salt and pepper
Caramelized Apples:
- 1 large honeycrisp apple (or 2 small apples), peeled and sliced
- 2 Tablespoons ghee or avocado oil (use avocado oil or vegan butter for dairy free)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pat the fresh or thawed (not frozen) pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Over medium-high heat, add 1 Tablespoon avocado oil to coat your skillet. Allow the oil to warm up with the pan.
- Once your pan is hot, add the pork chops and cook for about 6 minutes without touching before flipping and cooking another 6 minutes or until done, check doneness with an electric thermometer. Once cooked transfer the pork chops to a plate to rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Using the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and melt 2 Tablespoons of ghee to coat the pan.
- Add the apple slices, cinnamon and pinch of salt and allow to cook until soft, about 5-8 minutes depending on how soft you prefer your apples to be.
- Once the apples finish cooking stir the vanilla extract into the apples.
- Serve the pork chops topped with the warm apples alongside Whole30 Cauliflower Mash and roasted veggies. Enjoy!
