Equipment

Ingredients

6 Pork Chops ¾ to 1 inch thick, boneless or bone-in
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Black Pepper
1 (20-ounce) can Apple Pie Filling
1 packet Dry Onion Soup Mix
¼ cup Water

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the chops. Spread the apple pie filling evenly over the top.
Pour the water around the edges of the baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
Bake, covered, for about 20 to 45 minutes. Start checking at these times:
½-inch chops: 20 minutes
¾-inch chops: 25 minutes
1-inch chops: 30 minutes
Thick bone-in chops may need longer than 45 minutes.
Use an instant-read thermometer to check the thickest part of each chop, keeping the tip away from the bone. If any chops are below 145°F, cover the dish again and bake for a few more minutes before checking again.
Once the chops reach 145°F, remove the dish from the oven, uncover, and let them rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice and spoon the apples and gravy over the top.

Notes

Doubling or tripling: Use a separate 9×13-inch baking dish for every 6 pork chops so they stay in a single layer.

Nutrition: The estimate is based on one 4-ounce boneless pork chop (weighed raw) and one-sixth of the apples and gravy. Side dishes are separate.
