What I Made for Dinner: Apple and Sage Pork Chops

Pork chops were on sale at Kroger this week.  Having never cooked them before, I thought this would be the golden opportunity to try the McCormick recipe I've had my eye on.  Since corn was on sale too, we got a great dinner for 3 for only $8, and we had leftovers.  Win-win.

Apple and Sage Pork Chops

Ingredients 

• (You can buy a McCormick seasoning packet with all of the spices in it in the baking aisle.)
• 1 1/2 tsp. Rubbed Sage
• 1 tsp. Minced Garlic
• 1 tsp. Thyme Leaves
• 1/2 tsp. Ground Allspice
• 1/2 tsp. Paprika
• 1 tbsp. flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 4 boneless pork chop, 1 inch thick (about 1 1/4 lbs)
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 red apples, sliced
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 1 tbsp. brown sugar

Cooking

The recipe calls for you to fry everything, but I grilled it instead.  So here's my audible:

1. Mix all of the spices, salt, oil, apple juice and flour in a small bowl.  
2. Lay pork chops in the bottom of a container.  Spread most of mixture on top.  Layer on apples and then onions, spreading remaining mixture on top.  Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator.  
3. Grill.  Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes on a hot grill.  I grilled the apples and onions in my beloved grilling pan (pictured below).  If you don't have a grilling pan you can just but them on foil.

It was great!  We all loved it.  It's a keeper.  

If you like to grill and don't have one of
these, it is worth the investment!  World Market.
