Ingredients

  • 6 succulent pork chops
  • A hint of onion powder, as desired
  • A touch of garlic powder, to suit your taste buds
  • Generous sprinkling of lemon pepper seasoning
  • Finely crushed cornflake crumbs, for a crispy coating
  • 7 fresh apples peeled, cored, and sliced into wedges
  • Soothing apple juice, as required
  • A sprinkle of ground cinnamon
  • A dash of ground allspice, to your liking
  • A drop of fragrant vanilla extract
  • Sweet brown sugar, to tie it all together

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and positioning a baking rack inside a large, shallow baking sheet with sides.

Step 2

For the pork chops, generously season each one with a mixture of onion powder, garlic powder, and zesty lemon pepper seasoning. In a separate shallow dish, place cornflake crumbs for coating the chops. Gently press each seasoned chop into the crumbs, ensuring an even coating by using a fork. Remove any excess crumbs before carefully transferring the pork chops onto the prepared baking rack.

Step 3

Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven until they are cooked through, no longer pink, and the juices run clear. This should take around 30 to 45 minutes. To ensure doneness, use an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop, aiming for a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Step 4

While the pork chops are baking, take a large saucepan and place apple wedges inside over medium heat. Pour enough apple juice to cover the apples by 2 inches. Add a dash of warming cinnamon, fragrant allspice, a hint of vanilla extract, and sweet brown sugar to the pan. Allow the mixture to come to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork, usually about 30 minutes.

Step 5

To serve, present each pork chop in the center of a plate. Artfully arrange the cooked apple slices along one side, over the top, and down the other side of the chop. Finish by drizzling the flavorful apple liquid over each chop and serve any remaining sauce on the side for an extra touch of sweetness.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your pork chops in the fridge in an airtight container to ensure they stay fresh and flavorful.
  2. 2. To prevent any leakage or spills, store your homemade lemon pepper marinade in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  3. 3. For the baked apple delight, wrap each apple individually in a paper towel before placing them in the fridge to maintain their crispness.
