Hey there, foodies! Get ready to treat your taste buds to something absolutely magical – my grandmother’s secret Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Chops with Caramelized Apples. Trust me, this recipe has made even my pickiest eaters come back for seconds (looking at you, Sarah from book club! 😉).
Let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like the aroma of these perfectly seasoned pork chops sizzling in your kitchen. I’ve served this at countless dinner parties, and every single time, my guests practically beg for the recipe. So, today’s your lucky day!
What You’ll Need:
– 4 thick-cut bone-in pork chops (because bone-in just hits different!)
– 4 Granny Smith apples, sliced
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 3 tablespoons butter
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Fresh rosemary sprigs
– Salt and pepper to taste
– A pinch of cinnamon (my little secret!)
Okay, queens and kings, let’s get cooking! 👩🍳
First, season those chops generously with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy – we’re not making bland food in this kitchen! Heat your olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering (you know what I’m talking about!).

Now, sear those chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown. Remove them from the pan and set aside. In the same pan (hello, flavor!), add butter and sliced apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon and half the brown sugar. Cook until the apples are tender but not mushy – about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and rosemary (I can smell the heaven already!), then return the pork chops to the pan. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar over everything and let it all caramelize for about 3-4 minutes.
The final result? Juicy pork chops with a sweet-savory glaze and tender apples that’ll make your mouth water just looking at them. Serve these babies with some mashed potatoes, and honey, you’ve got yourself a dinner that’ll have everyone thinking you’re a certified chef!
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many marriage proposals I’ve gotten after serving this dish (kidding… kind of! 😘). It’s seriously that good!
