- Milk
- Eggs
- Tree Nuts
Pork chops are always a dinner winner. They’re satisfying, speedy, and so versatile, which is why our chefs are always thinking up new ways to take them to the next level. This week, they amped up the flavors... big time. Sweet and savory is the name of the game here. Tender chops are coated in brown sugar bourbon spice (which is all kinds of savory-sweet in and of itself), then seared and topped with a buttery apple pan sauce. Roasted green beans and a honey Dijon salad pair perfectly with the main event. Prepare yourself for a flavor explosion.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim green beans if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside until ready to roast in step 3.
• Pat pork* dry with paper towels. Season all over with Brown Sugar Bourbon Seasoning. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. TIP: If the pork begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium. • Turn off heat; transfer pork to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• While pork cooks, transfer baking sheet with green beans to oven. Roast on middle rack until lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. • Meanwhile, halve, core, and dice apple into ¼-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Add apple and scallion whites; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in stock concentrate, ½ cup water (¾ cup for 4), and ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4). Cook until sauce has thickened and apple is tender, 5-7 minutes. • In the last 2 minutes, return pork to pan until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat.
• In a medium bowl, toss mixed greens and walnuts with dressing (start with half and add more if you like).
• Divide pork, salad, and green beans between plates. Top pork with apple pan sauce. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Love the fresh apple sauce with this dish. But, you're really missing out by not adding in a cinnamon or brown sugar butter into it. This really brings the sauce to life. Although our pork chops were a bit tough, the diced cooked apples helped you to not notice too much. The chops were tough prior to cooking. I can tell because I always dock my chops. If the fork goes in easily, you're going to have a fantastic chop. If it is causing resistance, you're more than likely going to have a tough chop. I seasoned them with a tenderizer along with later adding salt, pepper and the bourbon brown sugar seasoning. I also cooked the green beans on the stove in a cast iron skillet. I think if you add in your flavored butter, you'd have a 4 star recipe.
This was an excellent meal. The pork chop was delicious with the apples and green onions and the salad with the Dijon honey mustard and walnuts was excellent. The green beans are always delicious!
Flavor of brown sugar bourbon seasoning was incredible. Recipe too liquidy...the sauce did not thicken as recipe suggested. May need to make a written note for less water, or take the apple's water content into consideration.
Rightly in the Hall of Fame. The apple pan sauce was delicious. The pork was tender. The bourbon brown sugar seasoning made it a home run.
Amazing flavor. Loved the brown sugar bourbon seasoning and the way it seared into the pork chop on the skillet.
This meal had very simple ingredients but somehow packed a great deal of flavor. Loved the apples with the pork and the honey dijon salad paired with it excellently.
The pork chops were so moist and tender. The chunky apple glaze was so good. It was a perfect compliment to the pork. The salad was very good & great dressing. The green beans are always good.
We made the salad first as an appetizer. Only used half the dressing for both salads and it was enough to lightly coat all the greens. Added some of the chopped apple to the salad. I was afraid of overcooking the pork chops so I cooked them with a sous vide before searing them. Roasted green beans always make a good side item.
The pork chops were so tender and the bourbon apple sauce was amazing! Plus it was SO easy to fix! Will get this one again for sure.
The salad was nice and fresh, green beans needed to be steamed not baked, too dry. Meat was dry and the promised brown sugar bourbon apples didn't really pop like your other sauces.
