Cook Time30 minutes
Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 small red onion
  • 4 small Granny Smith apples
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 dinner rolls, as side dish
  • Salad, as side dish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place the pork chops into the baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice the red onion. Peel and slice the apples. Place them in a bowl with the sliced red onion, and then toss with the lemon juice. (The lemon juice is to keep the apples from browning.)
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt. Toss with the apples, then pour the cinnamon-apple mixture over the pork chops.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 40 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chops.
  • Warm dinner rolls.
  • Prepare the salad.
  • Serve Baked Cinnamon Apple Pork Chops with salad and dinner rolls.
