Cranberry Apple Pork Chops Recipe

These cranberry pork chops are a snap to cook with fresh cranberries, a diced apple, and seasonings. The chops are seared and then baked with seasonings. Cranberries and diced apples are added to the pork chops about halfway through the baking time. For some extra crunch, add a few tablespoons of chopped pecans or walnuts to the chops. Replace the diced apple with a diced bosc or anjou pear if you'd like. Or use another seasonal fruit. In the summertime, a diced peach or nectarine would make a good addition along with frozen cranberries. If you can't find fresh or frozen cranberries, use a 16-ounce can of whole cranberry sauce, reduce the chicken broth to 1/4 cup, and reduce the sugar to 1 tablespoon, or to taste. Serve these tasty chops with rice, stuffing, or baked potatoes and steamed vegetables.
