And if you’ve never prepared pork chops at home before, have no fear, my recipe is easy to follow and calls for simple ingredients.
Ingredient Notes For These Apple-Plum Pork Chops:
- Prep Time – This includes preparing the pork chops, fruit/herbs and searing the chops on the stovetop.
- Pork Chops – I like to rub the chops with about 4 or 5 sage leaves and 2 thyme sprigs, because it really locks in the flavors.
- Apples – I use 1 1/2 of two large apples. If you use small apples, using both are perfect.
- Sage & Thyme – I add a good 3-5 julienned leaves of sage and a couple sprigs of thyme to the apple-plum sauce while it cooks on the stovetop. Why? Because, you want to continue to layer the flavors.
- Skillet – If you don’t have a cast iron skillet that is fine. Any heavy skillet will do the trick.

I used your recipe as a very basic guide since I've never seen Coconut Sugar (from ingredients list) where the recipe called for brown sugar and as I'm not a fan of Maple Syrup I combined the flavors by using Maple Sugar. I'm sure it didn't come out like yours but it was pretty good. Next time I'm skipping the maple, the sugar more than a pinch, and halving the salt and using salted butter and a pinch of Cayenne for a little kick. Oh, I also paired this with roasted, sliced and seasoned potatoes in red, white, blue, and sweet drizzled with plum/apple syrup. And a Kale, Apple, Strawberry salad with Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette dressing.
