Pork Chops with Bacon and Apples






  • 2 whole Boneless Pork Chops, About 1/2-inch Thick
  • 1 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Fuji Apple, Diced
  • 1/4 cup White Wine ( I used my favorite Riesling)
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup ( I used lite)
  • 4 strips bacon cooked ( I used turkey bacon)
  • 1 dash Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1. Cook 4 strips of bacon until crispy brown set aside.


2. Cut and core apple, then cut and dice into small pieces.




3. Salt and pepper pork chops on both sides.



4. Heat up skillet with one tablespoon of olive oil, place pork chops in skillet and brown both sides until they are golden brown.


4. Remove pork chops and set aside on a plate.

5. Add apple dices and bacon cut into pieces into skillet, then add 1/4 cup white wine.


6. Add 1/4 cup maple syrup.




7. Let mixture bubble and cook for a couple of minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce by about half.



8. Turn down heat and slide in the pork chops along with any juices left on the plate. Submerge the pork chops into apples and liquid as much as possible. Cover skillet and let simmer for another 10-20 minutes.



10. When pork chops are done lay them on your plate and spoon on the apple and bacon mixture.


11. It's ready to DEVOUR! Enjoy with some brown rice and steamed veggies.
