Pork Chops with Apple Reduction

Pork and apples are a classic flavor pairing. Here, our Red Apple Balsamic kicks that sweet taste of apples up a notch to intensify the pork chop's meaty goodness.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
  • 4 4-oz. boneless center-cut loin pork chops
  • cooking spray
  • 1/3 cup minced shallots (about 2)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 8-oz. package presliced mushrooms
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Maine-ly Drizzle's Red Apple Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 pork chop and 1/2 cup sauce.)

Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge pork in flour.

Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove pork from pan.

Add shallots, garlic, and mushrooms to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until moisture evaporates. Add thyme to pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring well.

Stir in Red Apple Balsamic and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 5 minutes), stirring until smooth.

Return pork to pan; cook 2 minutes or until desired degree of doneness, turning to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
