Ingredients
  • ½ white onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 5 small apples
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon coarse salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon ginger powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 (6-ounce) boneless pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
  1. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the apples into small cubes.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the apples, onion, garlic, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and spices (bay leaves included).
  3. Stir to combine and simmer on low for 1 hour covered until reduced and apples are cooked. Remove bay leaves.
  4. Preheat the oven to 450 F.
  5. Use a knife to cut a slit into the side of each pork chop, cutting deep but not all the way through to create a cavity.
  6. Stuff the pork chops with the apple filling. Season each side with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Place the stuffed pork chops in a baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over top.
  8. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the heat off on the oven and leave the pork chops in the oven for an additional 10 minutes to finish baking.
  9. Serve immediately on their own or with rice or mashed potatoes. Garnish the top with a sprig of fresh thyme if desired.
