18. #### Instructions:
20. 1. **Preparation:**
21. - Start by preparing your pork chops. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
22. - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
24. 2. **Cooking the Pork Chops:**
25. - Once the pan is hot, carefully place the pork chops in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until nicely browned but still pink inside (use an instant-read thermometer to ensure it reaches at least 145°F).
26. - Remove the chops from the pan and set aside on a plate.
28. 3. **Sage and Apple Mixture:**
29. - In the same skillet, add chopped sage leaves, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried thyme, apple cider vinegar, honey, and half of the butter.
30. - Stir until the mixture is well combined and heated through.
32. 4. **Adding Apples:**
33. - Add the sliced apples to the skillet along with any remaining juices from the chops. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
35. 5. **Cooking Time for Pork Chops:**
36. - Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning over the apple and sage mixture evenly.
37. - Let them cook for another 2-3 minutes on each side, ensuring they absorb the flavors well.
39. 6. **Finishing Touches:**
40. - Add the remaining butter and stir until it melts into the sauce.
41. - Once the pork chops are heated through (ensure they reach at least 145°F), remove them from the skillet using tongs and place on a serving platter or individual plates.
43. 7. **Serving Suggestions:**
44. - Serve your apple sage pork chops with a side of mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
45. - Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
47. ### Tips:
48. - For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the pork chops in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and rosemary for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
49. - Don’t skip the apple cider vinegar step as it helps balance the flavors and creates a more complex taste experience.
51. By following these steps, you can create a delightful Apple Sage Pork Chop dish that is both impressive and satisfying. Enjoy your meal!
