Instructions
- Lightly pre-season the pork chops with salt and pepper; cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking. Begin preparing ingredients while the pork chills.
- Preheat oven to 350° F.In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons flour (reserve 1 tbsp flour) and seasoned salt together. Coat each pork chop in the flour-seasoned salt mixture and set to the side.
- Use a large skillet (or cast-iron skillet) to heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Gently add the pork chops with tongs and brown on both sides. Transfer 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.
- Place the chopped potatoes on the bottom of a 13x9-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- 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.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Uncover and brush the tops with all of the melted apple jelly; cover 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.
