01
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops for about 2 minutes on each side, then set them aside. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2
Next, spread the apple slices evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the apples with brown sugar and cinnamon, then dot them with small pieces of butter or margarine. Place the browned pork chops on top of the apples, and season everything with a little salt and pepper.

Step 3
Pour the sherry over the whole dish, cover it with foil, and pop it in the oven. Bake for about an hour, or until the pork is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Once it’s done, let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the savory richness of pork with the sweet and tart flavors of apples. The splash of sherry adds a subtle depth and warmth, making each bite comforting and full of character. It’s a perfect balance of sweet and savory that feels both elegant and homey.
How to serve
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles to soak up the sauce. A side of sautéed green beans or roasted Brussels sprouts adds a nice crunch and freshness. A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette can also complement the richness of the dish.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat or in the microwave to avoid drying out the pork. The sauce may thicken when chilled, so add a splash of water or broth when reheating to loosen it up.
