Created by:
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
For the Pork Chops:
  • 6 boneless center cut pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Apple Cranberry Cabbage:
  • 3 small apples, peeled, cored, sliced
  • ½ head of cabbage, shredded
  • 1 onion, halved and sliced thinly
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1¼ cups bone broth, divided
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary
  • extra sea salt to taste
Instructions
  1. Mix spices together in a small bowl, then use half the mixture to season the pork.
  2. Heat coconut oil on medium/high heat in a large cast iron skillet. Brown chops for 3 min per side. Remove onto a plate.
  3. Add in onions and sauté for 2 minutes, then add cabbage and ¼ cup bone broth and cook for 3-4 minutes, until cabbage starts to wilt.
  4. Add in apples and cranberries and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until apples soften slightly. Add in remaining bone broth, maple syrup, applesauce, cider vinegar, and leftover spice mixture.
  5. Then, make wells in the skillet and put pork chops back in. Cover with apple/cabbage mixture and cook for 10 minutes on medium/low heat, turning pork once halfway through.
  6. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary, thyme, and extra sea salt, if desired.
Notes
~If your pork is thicker than 1 inch, you may need to cook for an additional few minutes. Use a meat thermometer or cut into a piece to check desired doneness.
~This is delicious served with cauliflower mash, roasted butternut squash or sweet potatoes!
