Pork Chops and Apple Koss
What could be more fall family friendly than this? Sweet and savory with a tangy zing, this recipe will please just about everyone. Traditional pork chops and applesauce are tasty but with the addition of a little Koss Sauce they get even better!

By the way, all opinions about Koss Sauce or any other product I mention on my website are strictly my own. I receive no compensation if you decide to purchase from them, I just really like this product.
​
​
I use butter garlic and thyme, red onion and brown sugar to get the apples started then add the Koss Sauce to bring that extra zing.
Pork Chops and Apple Koss
The first step is to salt and pepper the pork chops then sear them to a nice golden color. I like to use bone in chops for this recipe because I think it adds more depth and porky flavor.
​
The browned bits on the bottom of the pan are deglazed when adding the apples giving tremendous flavor to the sauce. Just remove the seared but not yet finished cooking chops to a pie plate to rest and build the Apple Koss in the same pan.

Apple Koss Sauce
After the sauce comes together, place the pork chops back into the pan and smother them with the apples. Place the skillet into a 350 degree oven and cook until the pork chops and apples are tender.
To keep things light and fresh, I serve it with a green salad of mixed baby kale, spinach, baby chard and shredded romaine topped with my Crunchy Salad Sprinkles then tossed with just a little honey mustard vinaigrette.
Cheers!
