Glazed pork chops “A-La Anthony” is a really simple and delicious way to enjoy pork chops and apples. My father created this recipe and shared it with me and it truly is good! A perfect quick and easy dinner to have on the table for your family.
Why the title “A-La Anthony?” Growing up, we ate many a dish with this tag line- because my dad could whip up a recipe and make it taste amazing; and it's all out of his head.
One of the reasons why I started this blog- so I could get them written down!
I'm glad my father is willing to share his amazing creations and I'll keep writing them down, cooking them and pass on to our kids so they can enjoy too!
Tools you will need for this recipe
- Frying pan or cast iron skillet– to cook pork chops and apples. I like this cast iron skillet set because you can use one size to cook the chops and another to cook the apples!
- Cutting board– a good sturdy surface to use for slicing and coring apples
- Measuring cup and spoons – essential items for every cooking or baking recipe.

Pork chop apple topping
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced (thick slices)
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/2 stick butter
1/4 C brown sugar
2 shots Lairds Apple-Jack Whiskey
While pork chops are cooking in one pan, take a separate pan or skillet (this is where the cast iron skillet set comes in handy!), and melt butter.
Add apple slices and cook until slightly tender.
Next, add cinnamon and brown sugar and cook 5 minutes.
Finish topping recipe by adding Applejack whiskey and cook 5 minutes (to cook off alcohol).
Top cooked pork chops with apple mixture and serve.
