Pork Chops with Apple Sauce & Rasins


Description

Pork and apples are always a winning combination. While the apples bake, they turn into a lovely sauce when they are cooked in the oven and the raisins get all plump and juicy. The pork chops itself are really juicy from being seared on the stove before baking them in the oven.

Ingredients

6 tbsp all-purpose flour, divided use
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
6 (6 oz) pork chops
2 tbsp butter or margine
2 apples, peeled cored and sliced
1/3 cup raisins
2 tbsp firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine 4 tbsp. flour, dry mustard, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge pork chops in flour mixture until evenly coated; shake off excess.

2. Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter to melt. When foam subsides, brown pork chops on both sides, about 5 min.

3. Remove pork chops from heat and arrange in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. Layer apples on top and sprinkle with raisins.
Reheat pan with drippings over medium heat. Stir remaining 2 tbsp. of flour along with brown sugar into the pan; mix well. Gradually pour in apple juice, stirring continuously. Cook until thickened.

4. Pour mixture over pork chops, sprinkle with cinnamon.

5. Bake, covered, for 1 h.

Enjoy!
