Savory Apple Pork Chops

Savory Apple Pork Chops bake in a rich apple-onion gravy. They take just a few minutes to prep and can be on the table in under an hour, which makes them an easy weeknight dinner.

Does anyone else think of The Brady Bunch when they hear “pork chops and applesauce”? I sure do! 😂

Pork and apples go so well together, and in this recipe, the apples add just the right amount of sweetness to the savory onion gravy.

An Easy Baked Pork Chop Dinner

You know that feeling when you get home after a busy day and still have to figure out dinner? We’ve all been there!

These baked pork chops with apples use just 3 main ingredients, so you can get them into the oven and make the sides while they bake.

Apple Pork Chops Ingredients

The apple pie filling gives you sliced apples and the base for the gravy in one can.

For exact amounts, see the recipe card below.

Pork Chops, Salt, Black Pepper, Apple Pie Filling, Onion Soup Mix, Water

I used a family pack of ¾-inch boneless pork chops. Bone-in chops work here, too. Try to use chops that are close to the same thickness so they cook at about the same rate.

How to Make Savory Apple Pork Chops

Everything goes into one baking dish, and the apple-onion gravy comes together as the chops bake.

• Preheat the oven to 375°F while you get the pork chops ready.

• Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper and arrange them in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
• Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the chops, then spread the apple pie filling over the top.

If you prefer smaller pieces of apple, chop the slices before spreading the filling over the pork chops.

• Pour the water around the edges of the dish and cover it tightly with foil.
• Bake at 375°F. Plan on about 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops.

When to start checking:

• ½-inch chops at 20 minutes
• ¾-inch chops at 25 minutes
• 1-inch chops at 30 minutes

Thick bone-in chops may need longer than 45 minutes.

Check for 145°F in the thickest part of each chop with an instant-read thermometer. Keep the tip away from the bone. If the chops need more time, cover the dish again and check in a few minutes.

• Once the chops reach 145°F, take them out of the oven and let them rest, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes.

As the pork chops bake, the apple slices soften and the juices from the pork mingle with the onion soup mix and apple pie filling to make a sweet and savory gravy.

Spoon a few apple slices and some of the gravy from the bottom of the dish over each chop.

Remember those old ads that called pork “the other white meat”? A properly cooked pork chop can still be a little pink in the middle. And look how juicy that bite is!

What to Serve With This Pork Chop Recipe

These pork chops with apple-onion gravy are especially good with mashed potatoes or rice. Spoon a little extra gravy over the potatoes and serve with a vegetable side dish.
