Pork and apples are just made for each other. Ahhhh…… Comfort food. This Easy Apple Raisin Smothered Pork Chops recipe is a savory combination of tender sage-seasoned pork chops, golden raisins, and apples – topped with a creamy flavored sauce.

This is a recipe I developed after being placed on a low-iodine diet for radioactive treatment for thyroid cancer. The diet is awful, to say the least, but I found some workaround ways that made it palatable. This is one of those recipes that helped me endure a highly restricted diet. Even after my treatment (which I went through twice – BLAH) this recipe still greets our dinner table.

How to Make This Pork Chop Recipe

STEP ONE: First, you will need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then you want to season pork chops with salt, pepper, and sage.

STEP TWO: Then, brown chops on both sides in a skillet with canola oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet or if you prefer in a dutch oven. Cooking just enough to brown, a few minutes on each side.

STEP THREE: Once browned, remove from the skillet and set aside. Then add to all the delicious renderings flour, water, vinegar, and raisins. You will be making a “sauce” to smother your pork chops.

You will want to cook the raisin sauce mixture until it thickens. It Should be noted: If you taste this mixture during the cooking process, it will not taste all that great. I have to be honest. Please trust me when I say the flavors of this dish will all come together. Believe me, I wouldn’t stir you wrong. 

STEP FOUR: Next, arrange the chops in a casserole dish. Top with apples (peeled). Sprinkle with brown sugar and top with thickened raisin mixture. Lastly, bake covered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
