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’m not a big fan of pork chops but this was tasty! I only had a pound of boneless thin-sliced pork chops, but I followed the recipe without change, and it came out well. I enjoyed it and will make again!
So delicious! Perfect fall dinner and not too difficult!
A family favorite at our house!
Can I use boneless pork loins instead?
That was a lovely meal! Fast, easy, delicious and plates up beautiful too. Craving them so made with sweet potatoes on the side. This one is definitely going in the rotation.
Fabulous & fast & easy & quick clean up!!
Tastes great too! Even for one who isn’t a good cook!
This was amazing! Definitely will be making again!!
So delicious and easy to make!
This was fantastic! Even more so because it was so easy to make. This was one of those delicious 30 min start to finish meals. Everyone loved it and I have some picky eaters! Thank you!
So, so delicious! Highly recommend!
As always you have the perfect recipe for what I was thinking about. A warm cozy fall meal for my family. Thank you for all your time and hard work.
Made this for dinner last night. My husband asked that I put it in our regular rotation. I couldn’t believe how easy, simple and quick this was and tasted SO good! I’ve never once made a bad “damn delicious” recipe, so I’m truly not surprised!
It is so simple and extremely delicious
Fantastic! Great flavor and easy to prepare. My new fav pork recipe
This recipe tasted great and was simple to prepare. I loved that all I had to do was brown the chops and then throw them on a sheet pan with the green beans to bake. The timing was correct and they came out perfectly cooked. The apples were a delicious touch! Even my picky eaters enjoyed it! Thank you!
My family doesn’t really like pork chops but will eat them if I make them. They all LOVED this. My husband even went back for seconds and my son said i need to save this recipe! My daughter then asked for actual baked apples 🙂 Your website is great and I have yet to find a recipe we don’t like. Thanks!
Super easy & delicious. We had boneless chops and used asparagus and put half garlic into the apple sauce
Excellent! I used dried sage instead of fresh and it turned out great! Will definitely make this again!
This recipe is delicious & sooo easy!
Made recipe almost to the T.
Omitted the nutmeg (husband doesn’t like)
Used salted butter, garlic powder on green beans since I didn’t have…
My husband and I loved everything about it!
Definitely will make this again and agaim!
Even good enough for entertaining 🙂
Thank you, you’re website is awesome!
Made this tonight, and my family loved it… will make again. May even try the sauce over a pork tenderloin. I cooked some fingerling potatoes ( started them 15 mins before I put the porks in the oven) with the meal and cut the syrup down to 2 TBSP, came out perfect. Thank you
