Pork Chops with Apples

This classic recipe for pork chops with apples is a sophisticated take on a high-protein dinner. By baking the meat in a fragrant bath of dry white wine, celery, and bay leaves, the pork remains succulent and infused with a subtle aromatic flavour. The combination of autumnal fruit and savoury meat is a timeless pairing that feels both comforting and elegant, making it an excellent choice for a midweek meal or a relaxed weekend supper.

To finish the dish, a topping of sautéed celery and sweet apples is layered onto the chops before being smothered in grated Swiss or Jarlsberg cheese. A quick flash under the grill creates a golden, bubbling crust that complements the tender meat perfectly. Serve these chops with a side of steamed greens or a crisp salad for a balanced, nutritious meal that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients for Pork Chops with Apples

  • 4 medium pork chops (you can substitute veal chops if you prefer)

  • 4 whole cloves

  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or vermouth

  • 4 celery leaves

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 4 celery stalks, washed and finely diced

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 2 apples, cored and coarsely sliced

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 110g Swiss or Jarlsberg cheese, coarsely grated

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a baking pan and place the pork chops in it.

  2. Press a clove into each chop. Add the white wine, celery leaves, and bay leaves and put the pan in the preheated oven. Bake the chops for 30 minutes.

  3. While the pork chops are baking, in a frying pan sauté the diced celery in the butter or 5 minutes, and then add the sliced apples and sprinkle with the brown sugar.

Continue cooking over very low heat for 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender but not mushy.

  1. Finish the pork chops by removing the bay and celery leaves and sprinkling the cheese over the top of each chop; baste and then grill for a few minutes to brown the top.
