Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. 2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear until golden brown, about 1½ mins per side. Remove the pork chops to a plate and set aside. 3. Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, for 2 mins. Add the sherry and the cider and cook, stirring constantly, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the apples, ½ tsp salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat and cook for 5 mins. 4. Push the pork chops down into the apple mixture and pour any juices accumulated on the plate over them. Cover with foil and bake until the pork chops are tender and cooked through, about 15 mins. Season with additional salt and pepper.
Divide among 4 plates and serve immediately. Serves 4 as a main course.
