Ginger + Apple Roast Pork Chops
The simplest meals, are sometimes the best. Short cooking time, pantry staples and great quality meat.
I love the combination of fresh ginger, apples and tender pork. The pan sauce is simple and pulls in all the flavors from the browned pork. The pork is perfect cooked in the sauce and charred apples. It’s a good one.
I always opt for bone-in thick cut pork chops – they hold their moisture and stay tender when cooked over high heat. They don’t take as long to cook as you may think!
Not everyone love pork chops. I get it. But when served with an easy pan sauce – you have a natural dip. Its light but also coats the chops just right.
It’s late Fall on a plate.
Where do I get my pork from?
Here are three farms that we love to support because of their high quality meat and how they raise their animals.
Covey Rise Farms Charlie & Kerissa are farming in Ohio while building their dream farm from scratch. They raise their animals on pasture and ship direct to consumers.
Ballerina Farms is based in Utah and run by Hannah and Daniel – who you need to follow on Instagram. She makes fabulous homemade butter, sourdough and basically everything else…even soap. Their meat is amazing…basically one of the best pork chops I’ve ever had in my life.
Five Marys Farms The Heffernan family raising cows, pigs, sheep and chickens in Northern California. They sell direct to consumer and offer sheep pelts, jerky and their amazing spice blend.

Ginger + Apple Roast Pork Chops
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 4-6 1x
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 4 thick cut bone-in pork chops, patted dry
- 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
- 5 honey crisp apples, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon each salt + pepper, plus more for seasoning
- 2 inch piece fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cups chicken bone broth
- 2 scallions, chopped
Instructions
- Using a large skillet (that will fit all the pork chops with a little room between them), heat the oil up over high heat.
- Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper. When the pan is very hot, add the chops. Let them cook on the first side for 6-8 minutes or until the under side is very toasted brown but not burnt.
- Flip them over and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the chops from the pan to a plate or platter to let sit. They aren’t fully cooked at this point so don’t taste test right now.
- Turn the heat to medium and sauté the onions until tender and slightly browned. Add in the apples, salt, pepper and ginger. Mix to combine and cook for 2 minutes. Add in the bone broth and let it come up to a simmer.
- When it’s bubbling, add the pork chops back in. Nestle them in amongst the apples and sauce – try to get each one to the bottom of the pan. Cover the pan and let simmer on low for 4-6 minutes or until the center of the pork chops are slightly pink but not white.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let sit for 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with the scallions and serve.
