Baked Apple Pork Chops and Green Beans
A quick and easy sheet pan dinner that can be assembled ahead of time and baked right before serving. Easy peasy!
Is it just me or am I the only one ready for autumn?
And I’m saying this as I am in Palm Springs in 110 degree weather. Literally.
Maybe I’m just excited about my recent trip to Chicago where I was lucky enough to preview the new Glade® Autumn Collection at a one of a kind, interactive event, inspired by scent that tempted guests to discover the glamour and mystery of the season.
My experience at the event and the collection really inspired me to step outside my comfort zone with this recipe.
Seriously. Because you know I’m all about those chicken thighs.
I was so inspired by the Glade® Autumn Collection fragrances, particularly with Spiced Apple Magic™, that I had to do something with apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. And what better combination of flavors to top off some beautifully seared pork chops completely rubbed with fresh sage?
See, I told you. I’m really going for it.
The best part? The complementary side baked right alongside your main!
Baked Apple Pork Chops and Green Beans
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 8-ounce pork chops, bone-in, 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 16 ounces green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
For the apples
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Rub both sides of the pork chops with sage; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add to the skillet and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Place pork chops and green beans in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle green beans with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place into oven and roast until the pork is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 140 degrees F, about 12-15 minutes.
- Return skillet to medium high heat and melt butter. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples just begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in maple syrup, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Serve pork chops immediately, topped with apple mixture, garnished with parsley, if desired.

I am expecting some recipe for diabetes patient, will be of great help
Thank you in advance
Any dish with okra is number one for diabetics!
Made this tonight for my family and they loved it. I thought the apples we’re going to be too sweet with the brown sugar and maple syrup, but instead they were tangy, probably because I used Granny Smiths. The pork with apples together…yummy. We all said the recipe is a keeper. Thanks for another great easy recipe!
I make a recipe very similar to this. It’s Pork With Caramel Apples. This one sounds perfect for the fall!
Oh my goodness, this looks incredible! I love sheet pan meals!
I have never been a huge fan of pork and apple sauce or just apple sauce in general. But I think serving it like this with whole chunky apples would be a lot nicer (: as usual, great work!
This looks so yummy I love a one and done meal.. definitely will trying this in fall n veggies as a side good stuff. . Thank u
In trying to print your recipe i had to print 8 (EIGHT pages that was in color, which uses a lot of ink and paper
,
There was no option to print otherwise, in view of this, i think i will have to stop looking at your page.
Monica, there is a blue PRINT RECIPE button located in the recipe box – you can’t miss it!
I cannot find the blue PRINT RECIPE button either – I do not see the recipe box on this page.
Ignore my previous email. I just found it – spotted it on another recipe and looked generally in the same area…. was expecting it to be up top. Thanks!
I love this combination and can’t wait to try your recipe – when the weather cools off here in sunny SoCal!
I can’t wait to make this meal. It looks amazing!
I am going to order your cookbook. You are awesome sauce! I can’t wait to get it. I love every recipe I have tried that is yours. I’m so excited for you…
Congratulations 🙂
Me, too. Every one of her recipes I’ve tried has been SO good. I also am going to get her book.
Could you use boneless pork chops for this recipe?
Yes.
Looks beautiful, i wish i will try to make it at my home, thanks for share this nice ideas
