These pork chops are a decadent feast.  They’re lightly seasoned and seared in butter and oil, sealing in the moisture.  Finishing them off in the oven is a good way to go since it give you time to make the sauce. The creamy apple cranberry sauce that goes with these pork chops is where the decadence comes in.  Cream cheese is added to sauteed onions and apples, along with apple cider and dried cranberries.  The sauce pairs perfectly with pork chops!

I’d like to suggest that you save this recipe for Pork Chops with Creamy Apple Cranberry Sauce for a Sunday night dinner.  I’ve always viewed Sundays as the perfect time to make something perhaps a little more decadent and special for dinner.  This is a good Sunday night dinner recipe.

Pork Chops with Creamy Apple Cranberry Sauce

Everything about this recipe says, “fall dinner!”  It has apples.  It has dried cranberries.  And it even calls for apple cider!  You can use apple juice in the sauce if that’s all you have, but I do like using apple cider because it has a few more delicious spices in it than regular apple juice does.

If you happen to have any, leftovers are delicious to eat a day or two later.  This is comfort food at its best!
