🧂 Ingredients

- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Beef broth

👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Prepare the apple sauce: Peel, core, and chop the apples. Combine apples, sugar, cinnamon, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and broken down, about 15-20 minutes. Mash with a fork or potato masher to desired consistency. Set aside.
- 2
Prepare the pork chops: In a shallow dish, combine 0.5 cup flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- 3
Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chops from skillet and set aside.
- 4
Make the brown gravy: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle in 2 tbsp flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- 5
Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 6
Return the pork chops to the skillet with the gravy. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through.
- 7
Serve the pork chops with the brown gravy and a generous dollop of apple sauce on the side.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓For extra tender pork chops, you can marinate them in milk for 30 minutes before dredging.
- ✓If the gravy is too thick, add a little more beef broth or water.
- ✓Adjust the sugar and cinnamon in the apple sauce to your preference.
