Ingredients

3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. fresh-ground pepper
2 Rome apples, cored and sliced into 8 wedges
2 Tbsp. coriander seed, crushed
1 tsp. ground cumin
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp. honey
4 (6- to 8-ounce) boneless pork chops

Directions

1. Step 1Caramelize the onions: Melt 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and translucent and continue cooking until onions are browned. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
2. Step 2Sauté the apples: Melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples and cook until lightly browned on one side. Turn the wedges over and continue to cook until browned. Remove from heat and keep warm.
3. Step 3Cook the pork chops: Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine the coriander, cumin, mustard, honey, and remaining salt and pepper in a small bowl. Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Spread the spice mixture over the pork chops and place them in the hot pan. Sear pork chops for 2 minutes on each side and transfer to oven. Continue to cook in the oven until done, 5 to 7 more minutes. Serve with Sautéed Apples and Caramelized Onions.
