- 1T butter
- Flour, salt and pepper
- Thick-cut pork chops
- 1/2c white wine
- 1/4c apple cider vinegar
- 1T + 1T brown sugar
- 1/2c + 1/4c applesauce
- 1t + 1Tcinnamon
- 1t allspice
- 4 large sweet potatos
Cook your sweet potatos in the oven at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until soft. (Note: you could also cook these in the microwave.) When they are cooked you should be able to cut the tip of the potato skin and then pull the skins off.
While your sweet potatos are cooking, melt the butter in a frying pan over medium high heat. Liberally season pork chops with salt and pepper and then dredge in the flour. When the butter is hot, add the pork chops to the pan and cook about 3 minutes on each side, or until the pork chops are golden brown on each side but uncooked in the middle.
Add white wine and vinegar to your frying pan. It will bubble up a little, reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cover and cook chops for about 30 minutes, until done.
When pork chops are done, transfer to a cookie sheet and put in a 200 degree oven to keep warm.
You will probably have a lot of cooking liquid in your frying pan. Increase the heat and simmer to reduce by at least half. Add 1T brown sugar, 1/4c applesauce, and 1t cinnamon. Cook to heat through. This sauce is a Show Stopper; it is so sweet and savory, and compliments the pork chops perfectly. It would probably be good on short ribs or other slow cooked meat.
Finish the sweet potatos by mashing, add 1/2c applesauce, 1T cinnamon, and 1t allspice. Make sure everyting is mashed well.
Serve and enjoy!
