Recipe View Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.

For an even deeper flavor, consider using a tart apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the pork chops and applesauce mixture to a 9x9-inch baking dish before baking.
To add a touch of sweetness, drizzle a small amount of maple syrup over the applesauce before baking.

    I used a cast iron skillet and it worked perfectly. The pork chops got a nice sear and the applesauce caramelized beautifully.
