Ingredients needed to make Apple Cranberry Potato Pork Chops

How do you make this delicious and easy pork chop recipe?

Lightly pre-season the pork chops with salt and pepper then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking. Begin preparing your ingredients while the pork chills.

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour (reserve 1 tablespoon flour) and seasoned salt together. Coat each pork chop in the flour-seasoned salt mixture and set them to the side.

Floured pork chops seared in a black cast-iron skillet.

Use a large skillet (or cast-iron skillet) to heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat until hot. Gently add the pork chops with tongs and brown the meat on both sides. Then transfer the browned pork to a clean plate. NOTE: You are not cooking the pork chops all the way through, just browning each side.

Add 1 tablespoon oil and reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the onions and ¼ teaspoon salt to the same skillet and cook for about 10 minutes or until the onions reach a golden brown color and have softened.

Sliced potatoes in a baking dish with ingredients in the background.

Place the chopped potatoes on the bottom of a 13×9-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

Sliced potatoes covered by sauteed onions in a glass baking dish.

Mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon flour with apple-cranberry juice. Then stir it into the skillet to loosen up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Transfer the onions and juice to the baking dish with a deep spoon. Place the pork chops and apple slices over the top of the onions and potatoes.

Sliced apples, potatoes, sweet onions, and seared pork chops ready to bake in the oven in a glass baking dish.

Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.

Remove the foil then brush the top of the dish with all of the melted apple jelly. Cover with foil again and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the pork is tender.

Remove from oven; sprinkle with dried cranberries and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs. Enjoy!
