My pan seared pork chops with braised apples and cabbage recipe is an easy and delicious weeknight dinner option. Green cabbage and apples braise in a sauce consisting of stone ground mustard and apple cider and then topped with perfectly seared pork loin chops.

This truly is an easy one pan meal that comes together in 40 minutes and requires minimal ingredients. Plus its naturally gluten free and low in fat!

Bone in pork chops or a pork tenderloin would work great as a substitute for the pork loin chops. Just make sure you get a nice brown sear on them and that they are cooked all the way through to 145 degrees F.

Ingredients

  • PORK. I like to use boneless pork loin chops in this recipe because they don’t take long to cook and are very lean. However, any cut of pork will work in this recipe, just make sure to cook it to the desired internal temperature. Chicken would also work well in this.
  • APPLES. I use Granny Smith apples, I do not recommend the use of sweeter varieties in this dish.
  • CABBAGE. I prefer green cabbage but red or purple cabbage make a fine substitute.
  • MUSTARD. Stone ground course mustard is the way to go in this recipe but if you don’t have it on hand then Dijon mustard can be used.
  • APPLE CIDER. Purchase a quality brand of apple cider for this recipe.
  • APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. I like THIS brand.

Instructions

  1. SEAR. Pan sear the pork in a cast iron skillet. CLICK HERE to purchase one.
  2. SAUTE AND SIMMER the shallots, apples and cabbage. Add the cider, mustard and vinegar and let simmer until everything becomes tender. This takes about 20 minutes.
  3. SERVE the pan seared pork chops on top of the apples and cabbage. Garnish with some parsley and extra cracked black pepper.
