A classic dish, using an age old cooking method--cast iron! These tender pork chops, pair nicely with the sweet & savory complex of the onion and apple. This dish would be delicious served with cooked carrots, brussels sprouts, rice, and/or a side salad of fresh greens. A classic, flavorful, and easy recipe the family will love!
