Sep 10, 2025 02:34 PM
Here’s a recipe for Pork Chops with Creamy Apple Cranberry Sauce. These pork chops turn out moist as can be, and they’re topped with a very flavorful and velvety, cream sauce.
These pork chops are a decadent feast. They’re lightly seasoned and seared in butter and oil, sealing in the moisture. Finishing them off in the oven is a good way to go since it give you time to make the sauce.
The creamy apple cranberry sauce that goes with these pork chops is where the decadence comes in. Cream cheese is added to sautéed onions and apples, along with apple cider and dried cranberries. The sauce pairs perfectly with pork chops!
Everything about this recipe says, “fall dinner!” It has apples. It has dried cranberries. And it even calls for apple cider! You can use apple juice in the sauce if that’s all you have, but I do like using apple cider because it has a few more delicious spices in it than regular apple juice does.
If you happen to have any, leftovers are delicious to eat a day or two later. This is comfort food at its best!
