Ingredients
- 2 pounds ¾” thick center loin chops
- 1 ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, plus a pinch (separated)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon diced
- 2 Jazz apples peeled and cut into very thin slices
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of allspice
- Pinch of Kosher salt
Instructions
- Pat chops dry with a paper towel, sprinkle both sides with 1 ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pat to adhere. Set aside until ready to use.
- Have ready a plate lined with a paper towel. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, fry bacon for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the plate and set aside.
- Have ready a large plate. Add pork chops to the bacon grease and sear 2-3 minutes on each side, taking care not to overcrowd the pan, and searing in batches if necessary. Once cooked through, transfer the pork chops to the plate and set aside.
- Add the sliced apples to the pan and saute 3 minutes, stirring often. Add sugar, sage, ginger, allspice and a pinch of salt to the apples and stir to combine. Allow to cook, stirring often, until apples have softened, about 2 minutes more.
- Spoon the apple mixture evenly over the cooked pork chops, top with bacon, serve and enjoy!
