Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 3 large shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 large gala or Granny Smith apple, halved, cored and thinly sliced
- plus 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 bone-in, center-cut pork loin chops
- 2/3 cup barbecue sauce, such as original or hot Bone Suckin' Sauce, divided
- Canola spray oil
- plus 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with spray oil.
Layer shallots and apples in the dish, season with a pinch of the salt and pinch of the pepper and set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Season pork chops with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Arrange pork chops on top of shallots and apples.
Pour half of the barbecue sauce over the top.
Place dish in the oven and immediately reduce temperature to 375°F.
Bake for 15 minutes, then spoon remaining barbecue sauce over the top and bake until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the pork chops registers 145°F, about 15 minutes more.
