Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear chops for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
  2. Step 2: Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp butter to the same skillet. Sauté minced shallot for 2 minutes until softened. Add diced apple and cook for 5 minutes until edges begin to caramelize and apples soften slightly.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 1/4 cup white wine and scrape up any browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes until wine reduces by half. Stir in 3 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 tbsp flour. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Step 4: Return pork chops to the skillet, spooning sauce over them. Cook for 1-2 minutes to reheat. Serve immediately with extra sauce drizzled over the top.
