Alice's Applesauce Pork Chops

In September 1969 ABC introduced America to this large, blended family.

Alice's Applesauce Pork Chops

1 tablespoon butter

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 apple - peeled, cored, and sliced

2 (1/2-inch thick) pork chops

3/4 cup applesauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

ground black pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and apple slices in the melted butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer onion and apple to a bowl.

3. Place pork chops in the same skillet; cook over medium heat until pork chops are browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.

4. Mix applesauce, brown sugar, mustard, and cinnamon into onion and apple mixture.

5. Place pork chops in a 9x9-inch baking dish; season with salt and black pepper. Spoon applesauce mixture over pork chops; cover dish.

6. Bake in the preheated oven until pork chops are no longer pink in the center, about 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C)
