Pork Chops with Apples and Onions | Sweet & Savory Skillet Dinner

There’s something about pork chops with apples and onions that just feels classic.

It’s savory, slightly sweet, cozy, and perfect for fall — but honestly? I make this year-round because it’s simple, fast, and full of flavor.

The real secret here is the seasoning. Instead of just salt and pepper, I use my homemade blend that adds sage, thyme, and warm spice depth.

That seasoning takes this from “basic pork chop dinner” to “why is this so good?”

Why This Recipe Works

This dish hits every note:

• Savory herb-seasoned pork
• Sweet caramelized apples
• Soft, golden onions
• A light pan sauce that brings everything together

The flour coating gives the pork a slight crust while also helping thicken the sauce at the end.

It’s one skillet. Minimal cleanup. Big flavor.
