Pairing pork with apples has been a longstanding tradition, and cooking pork chops in applesauce enhances the dish with moisture and a sweet-tart flavor. The sugars in the applesauce caramelize, adding depth to the savory pork.
For a perfect dish, place your pork chops in an ovenproof skillet and cover them with applesauce. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 140 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit, for optimal flavor.
Using homemade applesauce allows for flavor customization; adding cinnamon can provide a spiced sweetness, while leaving the apple skins on adds earthy tartness.
Opt for unsweetened store-bought applesauce like GoGo Squeez or Mott's to customize the flavor better. For added richness, consider stirring in brown sugar.
