Pork Chops with Apple Sauce
Pork Chops with Apple Sauce
A straightforward British pairing of thick bone-in pork loin chops with a sharp, buttery Bramley apple sauce. The chops are boldly seasoned with thyme, salt, and pepper, then seared to a deep golden crust. The sauce is soft and smooth, its tartness cut with caster sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Honest weeknight cooking that delivers both richness and brightness on the plate.
