Apples and pork they are just meant to be. This easy and so delicious weeknight meal of stovetop maple apple pork with brussels sprouts is a wonderful fall recipe. In under 25 minutes you will have a wholesome dinner. The apples and pork cooked with thyme and maple syrup fills your kitchen with a beautiful aroma. Fall brings so many apples. This is one of my favorite fruits. Each variety of apples has its own unique flavor. A slightly sweet and tangy/sour apple like a honeycrisp, jazz, or fuji apples work very well with this recipe. The sweetness of the apples pairs so well with a boneless pork chop cooked on the stove top.
Stovetop recipes are a great weeknight dinner. Choosing a boneless pork chop cuts down your cooking time and also making a simple yet very flavorful dish like this one also cuts down on your ingredients and time spent in the kitchen. Using fresh fruit and herbs like apples and thyme really makes this a very fall focused recipe. Making this for a cozy chilly autumn evening puts you fully right into the season. Fall is my favorite season so this recipe is one of my favorite.
Because I recommend this stovetop apple and pork with brussels sprout recipe for a quick and wholesome weeknight meal you can prepare a few more servings to have delicious leftovers. Leftovers during the week is a BIG time savor. It is also much healthier to have homemade food in your fridge instead of relying on weeknight deliveries.
Pairing this dish of apples and pork with roasted brussels sprouts is a perfect compliment and veggie for this meal. Brussels sprouts are favorite in our house so we roast them all the time. Roasting brussels sprouts takes no time and are a lovely healthy vegetable for this delicious weeknight meal.
