Okay, I’m calling it. These Apple Butter Pork Chops might just be the recipe you keep on repeat this fall season. Thick-cut pork chops are rubbed with a spiced brown sugar mix, seared until caramelized and juicy, then served with a rich apple butter sauce with onions and collard greens. Not only will the flavors in this dish help you celebrate autumn, but it’ll also leave your family full and tempted to lick the skillet. These apple pork chops are a flavor bomb with spicy, sweet, and savory notes, so if you prefer bland food, this one’s not for you!
Between the brown sugar rub made with cozy spices like clove, cinnamon, cayenne, and garlic powder, and the apple butter sauce with collards, onions, and tart green apple, this dish brings serious flavor.
